In Sequencer-Mode go to tab "Track Edit" and then select from the Page-Menu the command: "Set Song Length".
Best regards, Robert

I know. But when I change the lenght song and I press OK, Length of song don't change. When I open this menu again , songht lenght is still 65. And next song ends on 65 bar.

I have only audio tracks and i need to play full my wav, not only 65 bars.

Ok, thats curious. Maybe "Memory Protect" in Global settings is activated for "Song"?
Best regards, Robert

Are you setting the song length before or after creating the audio tracks? I've heard of some issues with creating audio tracks before midi tracks.

Try creating a MIDI event at the measure that would be the end of the song, then do your audio tracks. You could just add a CC, or a note on a midi track whose volume is zero.

follow LZ's advice

I have zero problems setting song length in the SEQ. Start with a midi track.

No idea if this works with your Triton. This is a Kronos forum

There is a strange bug I have noticed too when setting song length if you type in the length with the keyboard and enter it does not always set it.


BUT if you set the length with the wheel and click ok it works first time.

Not sure why this happens but there is a bug that I just learned to live with.

It really needs reporting to Korg this one as it is annoying and tripped me up a few times and I always set my song length at the start of a midi or audio recording and bug is there for both midi and audio.

Set length with wheel and also adjust it later with wheel if needs be and click ok on screen.

Thats odd and annoying. I always set the measure length, manually, by entering the expected total, 120 or 160 , for example. Do lots of SEQ recording, mostly midi tracks and haven't found a limit.

I would like Korg to do many improvements , some small and others more aggressive , to Kronos, but I don't expect anything. Especially for the SEQ.

Select the song length, then press "Enter". THAN tap "OK".

For some reason, if you select the length and then just tap on "OK", it does not save it. Happens to me. When I press the Enter button after dialing in the length and then tap on the "OK" button, it works every time.

Set song length

Zombie post, from Zombie musician-this little detail-push enter, then save or OK-similar to highlighting a section of a Windows computer page in software with the mouse or cursor, then typing an action, then hitting enter. the M3 has more than one function that needs this double entry action to work, as do many of my other music machines. Just entering the data in a field does not work in the computer world, and obviously not with these keyboards. Since our workstations are now mostly computers, makes sense I guess.
