Select a Set List with MIDI

Post by Citizen Dan Player »

Does anyone know how to select a Set List via external MIDI? There is some documentation on selecting Slots within the Set List, but not the Set List itself.
Thanks.

Set lists are just bank numbers. It's really straightforward.

For example if Slot 1 of Set List 001 is chosen, send the following data.

CC#0:0
CC#32:1
Program Change:1

Thanks for that info - very useful for me too.

Is there a way to change from CMB mode to Program mode or Seq via MIDI cc numbers?. My DAW is LogicX.

You can't change modes via CC numbers

You need to send a System Exclusive Message to the Kronos to change to those Modes

I'm not familiar with Logic and how it handles and records or allows you to compose sysex but you can record the Sysex message into a midi track in your daw direct From the Kronos(i.e Capture the sysex string whilst changing modes on the Kronos front panel)I Presume Logic has a System Exclusive editor.

I guess your already utilising a midi connection from Kronos to Logic.

Setup a Midi track on Logic which is the global channel of your Kronos say for instance channel 1,If Logic has a system exclusive Filter then make sure this is off so the data is recorded,most Programs tend to filter out this and needs to be switched off in order to capture the Sysex being sent from Kronos,(also make sure that The sysex RX/TX is not switched off in global mode on the Kronos too)so it sends the data to your daw

Simply hit record on your midi track on logic and then switch modes on the Kronos itself from the Buttons on the synth,open up the Midi data via the respective editor and you should see the sysex string

If you already know how to edit system exclusive strings into your DAW then here is the Data to switch the Modes on Kronos

Combi Mode-
F0,42,30,68,4E,00,F7

Program Mode-
F0,42,30,68,4E,02,F7

Seq Mode-
F0,42,30,68,4E,04,F7


These are the messages with my Kronos Global midi channel to 1 the messages may contain a different message byte in the string if your global channel is set to anything other than Channel 1

Thank you. I figured it out for Unreal Book (a great iPad app for reading music) now, Send
B0 00 00
B0 20 05
C0 00

Not sure what the top line does, but It doesn't work without it.
The second line picks Set List #5
The third line selects the Slot#

So the above selects Set List 5, Slot 1
