Sequencer
58
You can select the drum program that you want, and specify
how it will start.
The step sequencer uses the drum program of track 16. You
can use buttons 1–16 to intuitively create drum loop patterns
and play them. For more about the step sequencer, please see
page 81.
Recording System Exclusive events
Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device
or the parameter changes produced when you edit a track
parameter or effect parameter can be recorded in real time on
any track.
During playback, the exclusive messages you recorded will
control the track parameters and effect parameters of the
song, and can be sent to external MIDI devices.
GM, XG, and GS exclusive messages can be recorded
on a track, but the KROSS’s tone generator will not
respond to these messages.
Using realtime controls to record changes in
a MIDI track’s pan, EQ, volume, and tone
adjust
By controlling the pan, EQ, volume, and tone adjust
parameters during realtime recording, you can record these
changes so that they will be reflected during playback.
Use multi-track recording if you want to modify the settings
of multiple tracks simultaneously.
Note: Controlling these parameters will transmit control
change or system exclusive messages. In order for this data
to be recorded, the G-MIDI> FILTER Enable Control
Change and Enable Exclusive settings must be checked. Go
to Global mode and verify that these items are checked.
Note: Use Param. MIDI Out in G-MIDI> OUT page to
specify whether control change messages or system
exclusive messages will be transmitted when you edit the
Pan (CC#10), Volume (CC#7), or Send 1/2 level (CC#93 and
CC#91) parameters.
Recording internal parameter changes
You can use SysEx for automation of internal KROSS
effects and Program parameters.
Here we’ll explain how to record internal parameter
changes. As an example, we’ll explain how parameter
changes recorded on a different track can be used to modify
the parameters of the insert effect (IFX1) applied to the
program of track 1.
Note: In order to record system exclusive messages, make
sure that the G-MIDI> FILTER setting Enable Exclusive is
checked. Go to Global mode and verify that this is checked.
1. Select the desired program for MIDI track 1, and
route it to IFX1. Then record a phrase of about
sixteen measures.
• In the SEQ> PROG page, use “Program Select” to select
the desired program for MIDI Track 01.
• In the S-FX ROUTING> BUS page, route the Track 01
Bus to IFX1. Then in the S-FX ROUTING> IFX page,
select the desired effect for IFX1.
• Select Track 01 in Track Select. Then press the
SEQUENCER REC ( ) button and then the START/
STOP ( ) button, and record a phrase of about
sixteen measures.
2. Select Track 09 in “Track Select,” and record
parameter changes as desired.
Note: For this example, select an empty track. If you
want to record onto a MIDI track that already contains
data, set the SEC> REC page Recording Setup to
“Overdub.”
• Select Track 09 in Track Select. Then press the
SEQUENCER REC ( ) button and then the START/
STOP ( ) button, and begin recording.
• At the appropriate time while recording, adjust the
parameter(s) that you want to realtime-record.
In the S-FX ROUTING> IFX page, select another effect
for IFX1, and modify the effect parameter values.
Note: In addition to effect parameter changes, you can
also record parameters such as sound parameters. For
details on the parameters that can be recorded, please see
page 152 of the Parameter Guide.
3. Stop recording.
Note: Exclusive messages are always recorded on the
current track selected by Track Select. In this example,
they are recorded on MIDI track 9.
Note: In the event edit page you can view the recorded
exclusive events and their location. Exclusive events are
displayed as “EXCL”.
To view these events, go to the S-TRACK EDIT page,
and select the MIDI Event Edit function. Then in the Set
Event Filters dialog box, check Exclusive and press the
OK button.
Exclusive events cannot be changed to a different type
of event. Nor can other events be changed into
exclusive events.
4. If you go to the page (e.g., S-FX ROUTING> IFX)
that shows the parameters you’ve adjusted in
realtime, you can watch the recorded changes be
reproduced while the song plays back.
Exclusive messages that will be recorded during
realtime recording
The following exclusive messages will be recorded. (see
page 152 of the Parameter Guide)
• Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI
device.
• Parameter changes in Sequencer mode.
• Master Volume universal system exclusive messages
assigned to a foot pedal.
