Introduction to KRONOS

Sampling mode

Sampling mode lets you record and edit your own Samples

and Multisamples. For example, you can:

• Record samples from external audio sources, including

sampling through effects

• Edit the recorded samples, or samples loaded from disk;

set loop points, truncate, time-slice, etc.

• Create and edit Multisamples, which consist of one or

more Samples spread out across the keyboard

• Quickly convert Multisamples into Programs

• With a USB CD-R drive (not included), sample directly

from audio CDs

• Create massive sounds using the generous internal RAM:

if you like, a single Multisample can use about 6 hours of

sampling time

• Load a number of these huge Multisamples at once, via

User Sample Banks and Virtual Memory

Global mode

Global mode lets you make overall settings for the entire

KRONOS, and edit wave sequences and drum kits. For

instance, you can:

• Make settings that affect the entire KRONOS, such as

master tune and global MIDI channel

• Set up sample auto-loading at startup

• Manage currently loaded samples

• Create user scales

• Create user Drum Kits and Wave Sequences using

samples from ROM, EXs, User Sample Banks or

Sampling Mode

• Rename Program, Combination, and KARMA GE
