Multisample editing
Editing a multisample is accomplished with a number of
operations i.e. creating indexes for the multisample and
assigning a sample to each index, editing operations such as
deleting, copying, and inserting indexes, and detailed
settings such as sample level and pitch for each index.
Multisample editing is performed in P3: Multisample.
You can also do some basic edits in the P0: Recording–
Recording page.
Editing the indexes
To change the number or order of the indexes, use the Insert,
Cut, Copy, and Create buttons.
1. Select the P3: Multisample Edit page.
2. Use “Multisample (MS)” to select the multisample
that you wish to edit.
3. Select the “Index.”
You can also select an index by holding down the
VALUE controller or ENTER switch and playing a note
on the keyboard.
4. Press the buttons to modify the number or order of
the indexes, and edit them.
To delete the selected index, press the Cut button.
The Insert button is used in conjunction with the Cut and
Copy buttons. The contents of the index that was Cut or
Copied will be inserted.
The Create button has the same function as the Create
button in P0: Recording (see “Creating multisample
indexes and sampling–P0: Recording” on page 149).
Modifying the settings of an index
1. Make the settings described in steps 1–3 of “Editing
the indexes.”
2. Set parameters for the selected index.
•Use Sample to specify the sample for the selected index.
You can also select a sample here.
•Use Orig. Key (Original Key) to specify the original key
of the sample.
• Changing the Top Key will change the upper limit of the
zone. Simultaneously, the lower limit of the next-
numbered index will also change. Range indicates the
zone determined by the Top Key setting.
• Level adjusts the playback level of the sample. You can
use this to ensure that all samples in a multisample have
a consistent level.
• If you check Constant Pitch, all notes in the index zone
will sound the sample at its original pitch.
• Pitch adjusts the sample pitch for each index. You can
use the Pitch BPM Adjust page menu command to set
the loop interval to the desired tempo. For more
information, see “Pitch BPM Adjust” on page 761 of the
Parameter Guide.
EQ and controllers
The P4: EQ/Controller page lets you use a mid-sweepable
three-band EQ to adjust the sound. You can also use the
control surface to control the EQ. Note that this is for
temporary use in Sampling mode only; it does not affect the
sample data itself.
Here you can also assign the functions of SW1/2, Real-Time
Knobs 5–8, and the note numbers and velocities played by
pads 1–8.
Sampling from an Audio CD
The KRONOS allows you to “rip” digital audio data from an
audio CD inserted in a connected USB CD drive. To do so:
1. Go to the Sampling P5: Audio CD page.
Press the SAMPLING button, and then press the Audio
CD tab in the LCD screen.
2. Insert an audio CD into the connected USB CD-R/RW
drive.
Next, make a few settings so that you can monitor the
CD-R/RW Drive Audio Input. These settings don’t affect
the ripping process itself.
3. For both the left and right channels, set Bus Select
(IFX/Indiv.) to L/R, and Level to 127.
4. Set the left channel’s Pan to L000, and the right
channel’s Pan to R127.
5. In “Drive” (Drive Select), choose the drive that
contains the audio CD.
6. Raise the Volume.
7. Use Track to select the track that you want to rip.
8. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch to play
back the audio CD track.
9. During playback, press the ENTER switch at the
points where you want ripping to begin and end.
This will set Range Start and Range End.
If you press the ENTER switch three or more times,
Range Start and Range End will respectively be set
