Sequencer
Overview
About the KROSS’s Sequencer
The sequencer brings together the KROSS’s numerous
functions such as its arpeggiator, Drum Track, Step
sequencer, high-performance effects, and controllers,
allowing you to take advantage of these in a wide range of
situations.
This sequencer is a 16-track MIDI sequencer that can store
up to 128 songs and 210,000 MIDI events. You can use it to
record and play back notes for the internal sound generator
as well as for external MIDI sound modules.
When you turn off the power, the settings that were
created in Sequencer mode as well as the song data that
you recorded will not be backed up. If you wish to keep
this data, you must save it on an SD card before turning
off the power.
If you wish to write the programs, track parameters,
effects, and arpeggiator settings etc. that were used for a
song as a template song, use the Save Template Song
function.
Immediately after the power is turned on, the KROSS
will not contain any song data, so if you wish to play a
song on the sequencer, you must first load data from an
SD card, or receive a MIDI data dump from a MIDI
filer. For details, please see page 127, and page 178 of
the Parameter Guide.
Sequencer mode structure
Sequencer mode is structured as follows.
A song consists of tracks 1–16, a tempo track, song
parameters such as the song name, arpeggiator, Drum Track,
Step sequencer function, and effect parameters.
Tracks 1–16 consist of setup parameters (such as each
track’s program, pan, and volume) located at the start of the
song, and the musical data itself. The tempo track consists of
tempo and time signature data. (see “Setup parameters &
Musical data” on page 100 of the Parameter Guide)
Song recording and editing
You can record in real time onto tracks 1–16. Realtime
recording gives you a choice of six recording modes.
You can edit tracks 1–16 in units of tracks or measures, and
you can also edit individual notes and other events. For
example, you can use functions such as Create Control Data
to insert a pitch bend, aftertouch, or control change data.
