Recording System Exclusive events
Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device
or the parameter changes produced when you edit a MIDI
track parameter, audio track parameter or effect parameter
can be realtime-recorded on any MIDI 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.
Note: You can use the page menu command “Put Effect
Setting to Track” to insert an exclusive event containing the
parameter settings for an insert effect, master effect or total
effect into the desired location of a track, so that these
settings will automatically switch during playback.
GM, XG, and GS exclusive messages can be recorded on
a track, but the KRONOS’s tone generator will not
respond to these messages.
Recording internal parameter changes
You can use SysEx for automation of internal KRONOS
effects and Program parameters.
As an example, let’s record a short phrase on track 1, add an
insert effect, and then record parameter changes for that
effect on an unused track.
Note: In order to record system exclusive messages, make
sure that the Global P1: MIDI– MIDI setting “Enable
Exclusive” 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 P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Prog Select/ Mixer
page, use “Program Select” to select the desired program
for MIDI Track 01.
• In the P8: Insert Effect– MIDI Routing1 page, route the
MIDI Track 01 Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) to
IFX1. Then in the P8: Insert Effect– Insert FX page,
select the desired effect for IFX1.
• Select MIDI Track 01 in “Track Select.” Then press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch and then the
START/STOP switch, and record a phrase of about
sixteen measures.
2. Select MIDI 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 P0:Play/REC– Preference page Recording Setup to
“Overdub,” as described on page 93.
• Select MIDI Track 09 in “Track Select.” Then press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch and then the
START/STOP switch, and begin recording.
• At the appropriate time while recording, adjust the
parameter(s) that you want to realtime-record.
Select another effect for IFX1 in the P8: Insert Effect–
Insert FX page, and edit the effect parameter values, or
use the P0: Play/REC– Control Surface page Tone Adjust
controls to edit the sound in realtime.
Note: For details on the effects parameters that you can
record in real-time, please see “System Exclusive events
supported in Sequencer mode” on page 673 of the
Parameter Guide.
3. Stop recording.
