Common Korg Kronos Questions
How do I set up my Korg Kronos to receive MIDI from an external controller?
Go to Global mode, then MIDI, then Global Channel and set the Kronos' receive channel and transmit channel. Make sure your external controller is set to transmit on the same MIDI channel.
Where are the user-created Combis saved on the Kronos, and how can I back them up?
User Combis are saved in internal memory (User Bank). Back them up by saving a PCG file to an external USB drive via Disk mode; this stores all your programs, combis and setlists.
How do I quickly transpose the entire keyboard on my Korg Kronos?
Press the 'Global' button, navigate to 'Basic Setup' and use the 'Transpose' parameter to adjust the key up or down in semitones; this affects all sounds.
My Kronos screen is frozen, and I can't seem to do anything. What can I do?
Try performing a soft reboot by holding down the 'PAGE+' and 'PAGE-' buttons simultaneously while powering on the Kronos; if that doesn't work, a factory reset may be necessary (consult the manual).
How do I access and use the Kronos' KARMA function?
Enter Program or Combi mode, then navigate to the KARMA section (often via the touchscreen) and enable KARMA. Choose a KARMA GE (Generated Effect) to start generating complex rhythmic and melodic patterns based on your playing.
