I'm rehearsing to an mp3 audio track (Ticket to Ride) using a guitar program, the mp3 seems a little off key so I've detuned the Kronos in Global mode and it sounds OK and in tune with the mp3. Now the whole keyboard is obviously playing at a different pitch in every program / combination etc. Is it possible to just change the pitch of just this one program on its own rather than shift the pitch of the whole instrument. I also have an SV-1 and I can trigger the Kronos from this keyboard, but when I combine voices from both of them they of course out of tune. Most annoying.. can't find where to tune just one program on it's own. Any ideas ?

When I've done this I've put the program into a combi and detuned the program in there. It was easier to do this and have it on my setlist than to have to detune the whole board in 'Global' and then remember to retune it.

Thanks studio429
So it's possible to tune a program within a combi ? But not a program within itself ? Other than globally ?
I'd better dig a bit deeper.

You can tune programs by transposing the oscillator(s) in a given program.

I've done this quite a few times and saved the newly tuned program with a new name (with different tuning referenced in the title) so it's easy to spot.

The above approaches are all good

#1) Set your global back to original tuning. Having an out of tune Kronos is going to cause problems.

I am also set up combis for unique tuning requirements.

A combi, as you might know, can consist of 16 separate Programs.

Place your Program in a Combi user location.

The Tab you are looking for is called " Pitch "

You find it by pressing Timbre Parameter .

This stuff is basic operating steps for the Kronos. You have to accept
the terminology and what it means.

Korg has excellent videos on the basics. Its been said 1000's of times, you have to tame this keyboard by learning how it functions. And where certain functions are located.

Pitch settings and detune in program mode and combi or sequencer mode.

Bascis page > voice assign -you have detune there, for program mode.
And of course the OSC/Pitch tab page for pitch changes to your program. HD-1 and EXi.
Not sure if every synth engine has it but i saw it in AL-1 and STR-1 but not in
CX-3. So if that is really the case, then combi or sequencer are always there to pick up the slack.

Combi has Timbre parameter> OSC - there you have transpose and detune settings that can both come together to get some very fine tuning.

Thanks guys, am I looking at the correct screens here ? I rarely dive into the editing side of things>
