Playback methods
In order to play back song data in the sequencer, you must
first, load song data into the KROSS.
Let’s start by loading and playing the demo song data. For
details, please see “Listening to the demo songs” on page 20
of the Quick Start Guide.
1. Press the SEQ button to enter Sequencer mode.
The SEQ> MAIN or SEQ> PROG page will appear. If
this is not displayed, press the EXIT button three times.
2. Use “Song Select” to select the song that you want to
play back.
You can also select a song by using the ENTER button,
the cursor buttons ▲▼, and the value dial.
However if there is no song, you can’t make a selection
using the VALUE controllers.
3. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP ( )
button.
Song playback will begin.
The location indicator towards the upper left of the
display shows the currently playing measure and beat.
4. During playback, you can press the START/STOP
( ) button to stop playback.
If you press the START/STOP ( ) button once
again, playback will resume from where you stopped.
For details on the functions of the LOCATE ( ),
PAUSE ( ), REW ( ), and FF ( ) buttons, please
see page 5.
You can use the FF/REW Speed function to specify the
fast-forward and rewind speed.
Note: Track Select chooses the track that will be played by
the keyboard.
Specifying the location
By pressing the LOCATE ( ) button you can move to a
specified location. By default, you’ll move to 001:01.000.
You can use the song command “Set Location” to change
this location. (see page 142 of the Parameter Guide)
Alternatively, you can specify the location during playback
by holding down the EXIT button and pressing the LOCATE
button.
Loop playback
Looping all tracks simultaneously
By selecting the LOOP check box, you can make the song
play or record in a loop. In this example, we’ll loop
measures 10 through 13 of the demo song.
1. In Sequencer mode, access the SEQ> MAIN page.
2. Add a check mark to LOOP (Loop All Tracks).
Use the cursor buttons ◄►▲▼ to select the parameter,
and press the ENTER button.
3. Set the measure from which you want to start looping
(the Loop Start Measure) to 10, and the measure at
which you want to stop looping (the Loop End
Measure) to 13.
Use the cursor button ► to select each parameter, and use
the value dial to specify the value.
4. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP ( )
button to play back the demo song.
Measures 10 through 13 will play repeatedly.
Individually looping a track
During song playback or recording, you can make a
currently-playing track loop individually.
As an example, try the following settings.
