This tells the Kronos to choose Steel Drums SW 1 (or whatever sound you have stored in that location) You would send the following SYSEX strings: Let’s say we want to choose program number three on bank I-C. So, in order to accomplish changing banks and programs on the Kronos you need to send two lines of SYSEX. A couple of the banks have programs numbered 001 – 128 to conform to the General MIDI specification.įrom now I will use the word program when referring to sounds in program mode and combi when referring to patches in combi mode. Another gotcha is most of the programs in Combi Mode and in Program Mode are numbered from 000 – 127.

Effectively what you are doing is choosing a sound, for example, sound number three on Internal-D. You also have to send along a program change. You can’t just change banks and expect to go from Internal-A to Internal-D. You send the same string in either mode to make your bank and program changes. Now the rest of this is the same whether you are in Program Mode or Combi Mode. So here is how it works: If you want to use SYSEX to choose a combi you must put the Kronos into Karma mode. Now comes some really cool stuff I’m going to layout the commands to switch banks and choose specific programs or combis depending on what mode your are in on the keyboard. I laid out the commands you would need to turn Karma on and off and toggle all the switches and buttons on the front panel related to Karma. Installment number 2 was all about Karma.

Lately it’s been all about the things you can do with SYSEX (System Exclusive) messages and the Korg Kronos. Welcome to another installment of Your Korg Kronos and You.
