Recording and playing audio
The audio recorder can record what you play on the
keyboard of the KROSS, or it can play an external audio
signal from LINE IN, MIC IN or USB audio input.
Let’s begin by recording the sound of your playing a
program. In a later section we’ll explain how to record an
external audio signal.
Preparations
• Insert an SD card into the SD card slot.
(see “Inserting an SD card” on page 25)
If the SD card is being used by the KROSS for the first
time, you’ll need to format it in GLOBAL/MEDIA
mode. (see “Formatting SD card” on page 129)
Note: When using an SD card with the KROSS for the first
time, KORG/KROSS2/AUDIO and DATA folders will be
created automatically to make the card usable by the
KROSS.
Never remove the SD card during recording or
playback. Doing so may temporarily destabilize the
KROSS.
Recording the performance of the
KROSS
1. Press the PROG button to enter Program mode, and
select the program that you want to play from the

step 4.
• To select a different song, move the cursor to the audio
song and use the VALUE dial etc. to select the song you
