Setting the recording level
The Recording Level L and R parameters adjusts the signal
level at the final stage of sampling. For the best-quality
sampling, set the level as high as possible without allowing
the level meter to indicate “CLIP !”
Press the SAMPLING REC switch to enter record-standby
mode; the level meters will indicate the recording level of
the signal from the bus line you selected in Source Bus. You
can use the slider to adjust the signal level. Start with the
slider at 0.00, and adjust the level as high as possible without
allowing the bar indicator to exceed 0 dB.
The default setting is 0.0 dB.
Specifying the recording method
(Recording Setup)
Source Bus
The Source Bus parameters controls what audio will be
captured during sampling.
L/R: The L/R bus following TFX1 and 2 will be sampled.
The audio signals sent to the L/R bus and sounds played on
the KRONOS from the keyboard or via MIDI IN and sent to
the L/R bus will be sampled. Normally you will use the L/R
setting. (See the diagram below)
REC1/2, REC3/4: The REC1/2 or REC3/4 buses will be
sampled. Use the REC buses when you want to play the
keyboard or play back an audio CD while sampling only the
audio input. You can also mix several audio input sources to
the REC buses, or mix the direct sound of an audio input
with sound processed by an insert effect and mix them to the
REC buses for sampling.
If you choose REC1/2, REC bus 1 is input to the L channel
and REC bus 2 is input to the R channel. If you choose
REC3/4, REC bus 3 is input to the L channel and REC bus 4
is input to the R channel.
Audio Input 1/2, S/P DIF L/R, USB 1/2: Choose these
settings if you want to directly sample from the analog,
S/P DIF, or USB inputs. The input will be sampled directly
without being routed through the L/R bus, REC buses, or
Individual buses. The inputs will be connected directly,
regardless of the Audio Input settings for Bus Select
(IFX/Indiv), Pan, and Level.
If you choose Audio Input 1/2, AUDIO INPUT 1 is input to
the left channel and AUDIO INPUT 2 is input to the right
channel.
Indiv.1/2 and 3/4: The Indiv.1/2–Indiv.3/4 buses will be
sampled. Choose these settings if you want to sample only
the audio inputs while monitoring the L/R outputs, similarly
to when using the REC buses.
If you choose Indiv.1/2, Indiv. bus 1 is input to the L channel
and Indiv. bus 2 is input to the R channel. Similarly for
Indiv.3/4, the buses are input to the L and R channels
respectively.
Source Direct Solo
If this is unchecked, the L/R (post-TFX) signal and the
signal of the bus line specified for Source Bus will be output
from the L/R jacks and the headphone jack according to the
Audio Input Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) setting and the post-
IFX Bus Sel. setting.
Normally you will leave this unchecked, so that Source Bus
and “L/R” are both heard. Check this if you want to monitor
only the sound that’s being recorded. Only the signal of the
bus line selected for Source Bus will be output from the L/R
jacks and the headphone jack.
Note: If Source Bus is L/R, this setting is ignored, and the
L/R (post-TFX) signal will always be output from the L/R
jacks and headphone jacks.
Trigger
This controls how sampling will be initiated.
The triggers you can select will differ depending on the
mode.
In Program and Combination modes, you can select either
Sampling START SW or Note On.
In Sampling mode, you can select either of the above, plus
Threshold.
