Playing and editing Combinations
46
Easy Combination editing
You can edit any of the Combinations shipped with
KROME. You can create your own combinations by
editing a preloaded combination, or by starting from
an initialized combination.
A combination has sixteen timbres; you can assign a
program to each timbre and specify its volume and
pan, the key range in which the program will sound,
and how its sound will be routed to the effects. You can
create simple setups such as detuned sounds, split, or
layers, or highly complex orchestra‐like setups.
Even without moving to the various pages for detailed
editing, you can make dramatic changes just from
within the Combi P0: Play page. You can also edit
using the control surface’s knobs on the front panel.
Changing the program of each
timbre
Changing the Programs assigned to timbres (1–16) is a
quick way to dramatically alter the sound of the
Combination.
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Program T01–08/T09–
16 page.
In this page you can view the program assigned to each
timbre 1–16, and the play/mute and solo status of each.
2. Use any of the following methods to select a
Program for each timbre.
• Choose Program Select, use numeric keys 0–9 to
input the program number, and press the ENTER
button.
• Choose Program Select and turn the VALUE dial or
use the INC/DEC buttons.
• If the Program Select parameter is selected, the
PROG BANK A–F buttons will switch program
banks. (If Timbre Program Select is selected, the
BANK button LED of the program bank selected for
that timbre will light up.)
• From the Bank/Program Select menu you can view
and select programs by bank.
• From the Category/Program Select menu you can
view and select programs by category.
• You can transmit MIDI program changes from a
connected external MIDI device. (See page 359 of
the Parameter Guide)
Note: To select the timbre program via MIDI program
change the timbre’s status must be set to “INT.”
Adjusting the mix
Adjusting the volume of each timbre
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Mixer T01–08 page.
This page shows the volume, pan, and Program
assignments for all 8 Timbres.
2. In the display, press the timbre 1 volume slider
and slide it up or down to adjust the volume.
You can also highlight the numerical area of the slider
and use the VALUE dial or the numeric keys to adjust
the value.
If you check Hold Balance, moving any one of the
volume sliders (volume values) will cause the volume
of the other timbres to change as well, maintaining the
relative volume balance between timbres 1–16. This is a
convenient way to adjust the overall volume.
Adjusting the panning of each timbre
1. Access the Combi P0: Play– Mixer T01–08 page.
2. Press the timbre 1 pan knob, and slide it left/right
to adjust the panning.
You can also highlight the numerical area of the knob
and use the VALUE dial or the numeric keys to adjust
the value.
Timbre pan interacts with the pan stored in the
Program. A setting of C064 reproduces the Program’s
oscillator pan settings. Adjusting the Timbre Pan will
move the sound to left or right while preserving the
pan relationship between the oscillators. A setting of
L001 is far left, and R127 is far right.
