please help me see if my Kronos is faulty

Post by arapahoe »

OK, I'm not really even sure how to go about explaining this so I guess I'll just start.

• initialize a song in the seq
• put a piano on track 1 - midi channel 1
• put a bass guitar on track 2 - midi channel 2

• Global midi channel is set to channel 1

Is there any way to play and hear just the bass sound without changing the global midi channel to channel 2?

This seq is not working in any way that I understand. Even if i select track 2 and mute channel 1 I can still hear the piano and the bass won't play or be heard.

For these reasons I'm thinking that the 1.5 update broke my Kronos.

I'm so confused... why can't I just click on track 2 and hear the bass?

Let's say I recorded a part on track 1 (piano) and want to go back and add a bass on track 2 - do i really have to go into the global midi channel and change the midi channel to match the track channel every time I want to record a new part?

Are you selecting the active track? I think it's at the top or bottom of the screen..

thats one of my problems and why I think it's not working correctly. How do you "select" a track. I can click on the track (like track 2) and the little blue rectangle at the top lights up a little bit to show it's selected but It makes no difference and the bass still won't play or sound...

I must be missing something so basic. I just don't get it...

Use the Track Select parameter near the top of the screen, just under the big Song name.

hi, for can click on the track (like track 2) and the little blue rectangle do not forget to activate "Link KBD REC Trk to Ctrl Surface" on Control Surface Parameter, Because always you switch off and on your kronos or save a song and reload, this parameter is never! memorized :shock:

for easy to use it needs to be fixed :wink: in the next firmware ??? or not.
