Playing and editing Programs
About the KROSS’s Programs
Programs are the basic sounds of the KROSS; you can play
and edit them in Program mode.
You can play them by themselves, layer them together in
Combinations, or play a different Program on each of the 16
MIDI tracks, either from the internal sequencer or from
external computer-based sequencers.
This section of the manual takes a quick look at playing
Programs, including tours of the front-panel controllers and
basic editing techniques.

Program categories and numbers
The sounds of the KROSS are organized by type into
categories; within each category, an index number is
assigned to each sound. All programs are also assigned a
bank and program number that are used to recall that
program via MIDI.
Note: Depending on the bank, there are limitations on where
a program can be saved. For details, please see “Bank
numbers and conditions for saving” on page 102.
