Connecting via the MIDI connectors
You can connect the KROSS to your computer via MIDI by
using a commercially available MIDI interface.
Note: For more about MIDI interfaces, please see the
owner’s manual of the MIDI interface that you’re using.
Some USB-MIDI interfaces may be unable to
transmit or receive the KROSS’s MIDI exclusive
messages.
Connecting MIDI devices
By connecting the KROSS’s MIDI connectors to an external
MIDI device you can transfer sound settings and
performance data such as note messages between your
external MIDI device and the KROSS.
About MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is
a world-wide standard for exchanging various types of
musical data between electronic musical instruments and
computers. When MIDI cables are used to connect two or
more MIDI devices, performance data can be exchanged
between the devices, even if they were made by different
manufacturers.
Controlling an external MIDI tone generator
from KROSS
If you want to use the KROSS’s keyboard, chord trigger
switches and other controllers, sequencer, and arpeggiator to
play or control an external MIDI sound module, use a MIDI
cable to connect the KROSS’s MIDI OUT connector to the
MIDI IN connector of your external MIDI sound module.
Controlling KROSS’s tone generator from an
external MIDI device
When you wish to play or control the KROSS’s tone
generator from an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer etc.,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
external MIDI device to the MIDI IN connector of KROSS.
Controlling two or more external MIDI tone
generators from the KROSS
You can also use a MIDI patch bay to control multiple MIDI
devices.
