Playback methods
In order to play back song data in the sequencer, you must
first, load song data into the KROSS.
First, let's load a demo song that contains preload data, and
play it back.
Loading a song (demo song)
1. Execute “Loading the preloaded data” on page 131
This procedure will load program and combination data
and demo song data into the KROSS. This means that
any data you've edited or newly created will be
overwritten and lost. If you want to keep this data, save
it on an SD card (commercially available) before you
continue.
Tip: To load song data that you saved on an SD card, see
“Loading songs for use in Sequencer mode (.SNG)” on
page 127.
Playing back a song
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 these 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 SEQUENCER
(start/stop) button to stop playback.
If you press the SEQUENCER (start/stop) button
once again, playback will resume from where you
stopped.
To fast-forward or rewind, hold down the SEQUENCER
(start/stop) button and press the cursor button 
(fast-forward) or  (rewind).
You can use the FF/REW Speed function to specify the
fast-forward and rewind speed. (Please see page 142 of
the Parameter Guide)
Note: Track Select chooses the track that will be played by
the keyboard.
Specifying the playback start location
By pressing the EXIT button ( ) and the
SEQUENCER (REC) button ( ), you can move
(locate) 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)
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.
Note: Turn LOOP (Loop All Tracks) off. For more about
Solo settings, see page 57.
1. In Sequencer mode, access the S-LOOP/TONE>
LOOP page.
Press the MENU button, select S-LOOP/TONE from the
menu, and press the MENU (OK) button.
2. Select track 1 as the track where you’re adjusting
settings.
