Common KRONOS SE Questions
How do I connect my KRONOS SE to my computer via MIDI and ensure it's recognized by my DAW?
Connect the KRONOS SE to your computer via USB. Then, in Global Mode, navigate to MIDI and ensure the USB MIDI Device setting is enabled and the KRONOS SE driver is installed on your computer; finally, in your DAW, select the KRONOS SE as both the MIDI input and output device.
Where are my saved Combis, Programs, and Set Lists stored in the KRONOS SE, and how can I back them up to an external drive?
Combis, Programs, and Set Lists are stored in the KRONOS SE's internal memory; to back them up, go to Disk Mode, select "Save," and choose "All Data" to save everything to a USB drive in a single file.
How do I quickly transpose the entire keyboard by semitones while performing live on the KRONOS SE?
Press the "Transpose" button on the front panel, then use the Value knob or the + and - buttons to adjust the transposition amount in semitones; press the button again to disengage.
My KRONOS SE is suddenly making no sound, even though the volume is turned up. What are the first things I should check?
First, ensure the Local Control parameter in Global Mode > MIDI is set to "On"; also check if any headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, as this will mute the main outputs.
The KRONOS SE boasts enhanced SGX-3 piano engine. How do I access and customize the new velocity layers and sympathetic resonance features?
In Program Mode, select an SGX-3 piano sound. Go to the "Timbre Edit" page, then to "OSC1/2 SGX-3" where you can adjust the velocity curve and sympathetic resonance parameters for finer control over the piano's response and realism.
