Thanks for the video! But how do I create my own drum patterns? I've lurked the net for a while with no success in finding the answer. Basically I want to create a simple metronome track. Kronos has two metronome drum patterns pre-loaded, but both of them are with first note accented, which I don't like. I wish to have plain and clean metronome with all beats played with the same sound. I guess there should be a way. Thanks in advance.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

I was planning to do a Kronos video today. I will make this a priority. I'll try and get this up for you today. Please subscribe so you can get notification of when it is uploaded.

[@kolobamanacas]

@@JuliusDeBerryJr Thanks a lot! :) I've spent some time digging the interface yesterday and eventually I've found a solution. You simply need to record a song in the same sequencer mode using any drum sounds you like and then go to "Pattern/RPPR > Pattern Edit" and tap "Convert to Drum Track Pattern". Yet I believe, the video covering this would be useful for other people though. :)

[@AlexanderBoehmMusik]

Hello Julius. There is an easier way. When you record a song, you only use channel 2 for the drums. You can then set the bars with the beats in the track view, where all tracks are also audio. Everything goes through the normal drum mode. You just keep repositioning after recording your measures and you can deposit everything on one track. So you do not need to go over patterns. Everything that does not fit you can indeed cut out or stick. I'll try it for 2 years and it works.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

I'm not sure I'm following what you mean... Can you re-explain another way? Not sure how I just saw this comment.

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

Julius... I am the guy you referred to Sigurd. Thank you for your video. I have subscribed and will watch more to be able to learn how to sequence on my Kronos. I really want to learn how to use this thing to record and compose. Thank you!

[@roxanne_george]

Excellent tutorial, thanks a lot, Julius!

[@Andy-lm2zp]

If you press LOAD TEMPLATE SONG, from drop down menu, you can preview beats, you have to use physical button, ie seq start stop, and you can't change selection until you press stop, so use the wheel to select with left hand to scroll thru quickly

Thank you so much Julius your videos have really helped me in the last few days take it step-by-step so that I’ll be able to create the type of music that I am aiming for. Right now I’m still utilizing and learning set list how to convert to waveFiles to USB and that’s it for now. But I would definitely stay in touch with you keep making these videos man the Korg Kronos community needs you

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

Harold, are there any other concepts or subjects that you would like to see videos on?

[@parthadx7ster]

Thank for the explanation. I just got my Korg Kronos 88 and its a monster instrument. Ok, I do have a questio for you. Just like drum patterns, are there any guitar patterns in the Kronos. Please respond.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

No problem. Thanks for watching. Maybe not guitar patterns per se, but karma can generate alot... Almost in arranger/backing track fashion. You initiate a karma module and play a note or a chord. It's like an arpeggio on extreme steroids. And you can have multiple karma modules generating patterns at one time. It's very complex with multiple layers, but at its core... It's not crazy to generate some nice riffs. Where stuff gets crazy is the customization of those riffs. That will take some deep diving. Lol. But karma can get you started down that road.

[@avatarmusicproductions1048]

+ARISAX ARISAX Check your manual if possible or grab the one offline from the Korg site. I usually use the disk command to save all (PCGs, EXEs, etc.) from the menu and name the set of songs. When you turn the Kronos back on, you will have to go to the disk function a load what you have saved in order to bring the songs back up. You can save more than one song setup under the same file name.

no. the EXT stands for external. meaning the keyboard is synced to some external source for tempo. go into your global settings and then to the MIDI tab and change it to INT (internal)

[@givemore658]

I just got the KRONOS but i trying to get into the pattern sequencer mode.. meaning i want to make different pattern sections which makes up the full song which allow me to control each section of my progression... can you show that? thanks

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

Yes but this mode is not near as user friendly as we'd expect it to be. It works but for entire sections of songs it's a bit more problematic. But for musical parts of a section it works well. I will do a video on the mode and we can go from there. Ok?

[@timroscher65]

I can get drum sounds out of the keys but I cannot get the pattern to play. what am I doing wrong?

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

Are you adding the patterns to the actual measures?

[@pyannaguy4361]

697 drum preset patterns - I wonder if there's ONE that's a 5/4 pattern that would work for me in a particular instance.

[@jerry77028]

Hi, I've had my Kronos 2 since June of last year. I have never created anything on it, for it seems very complicated to me. I thank you for at least showing me how to get started. My question is, when creating the drum track, is there a way of adding fill-ins to the drum loops, and how about different parts of the song?

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

Hi @j.w. Carter . I think the Kronos drum patterns have fills at the end of each phrase. You can at least start with those.... You could copy and paste the fill measures only into your tracks at the specific locations that hey are needed.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

+Ben Boateng this video is a great start in the direction that you need to go. After you complete the steps here (except selecting whatever patterns you need) all you have to do is form your layers just as you would in combi mode. Then just loop the drum pattern.... BAM !!!! You're done!

Splinting ( How to split the drum loop when playing the loop - stop drum roll and breaks between the song ) 3.Ending ( how you end the song when you done it with a roll or fading etc ) 4. How you creating a drum loop finding assign keys ( the video you shared us only half away through ?) 5.Once you done the drum track how you save it and get in to the sequencer to create the midi track ?)

I don't really understand the question. I'd like to help though. I'm just seeing these questions though for some reason..

[@tomderusseau5573]

Hi Julius , I also have these questions because I were also a Yamaha Keyboardist. Yamaha has easy ways to do things (Actually dedicated buttons to do things.) May be KronOS also has these capabilities but we just can't find where those are... Ex: In Yamaha arranger Keyboards, -3 drum start variations possible -5 song drum fills possible -5 song ending drum fills possible (Korg PA Series (Arrangers) has above listed features same as Yamaha PSRs.We just need to do know how to get these things done in KorgOS Workstation) To understand this check the below video and concentrate only the drum tracks how they change along with the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIjEkn2Pg7Krm68 This guy uses various drum fills time to time.It adds extra colours to the song.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

The Kronos doesn't have that ability. There are "workarounds" but Yamaha's pattern mode (in its pure form) is not available for the Kronos. I will go over a few things in the video that I'll post soon that may get you started in that direction though.

[@h3studio]

Take a look at the RPPR pattern tutorial you can assign various patterns as you mentioned and name them as such ... Just a different way to approach similar function. There is a video by korg on that ...its old but practical

Complicated and complex aren't the same things. What keyboard are you currently using?

[@Alphatrev]

I bought a Krome EX. I like the Korg sounds, but trying to do all the stuff on a tiny screen with a stylus is like trying to write a song on an iphone. I will probably just end up using it as a controller along with Logic, but still be able to play live with it if I want.

@@Alphatrev WAY too much keyboard to use as a controller... Extremely huge waste.

[@Alphatrev]

Right! But Korg boasts a 16 voice sound machine. So what use is that alongside my DAW if it only has one pair of stereo outputs? The only way I can take advantage of the sounds is to record them as audio. Kind of defeats the object.@@JuliusDeBerryJr

Why are there ZERO tutorials for using the basic sequencer? There are NO tutorials on just using the sequencer to record a few different tracks on top of each other. There are some crappy tutorials that don't show ANYTHING.

[@jonesgerard]

+StuntmanJake Because it absolutely SUCKS. I've given up trying to do anything except use my kronos as a controller for VSTi in a DAW. On the bright side, Omnisphere2 is fantastic, sounds a lot better than the kronos sounds and is so much easier to use. Reaper is a very good sequencer, I really don't need the kronos sequencer at all. Korg made a crucial error of allowing engineers near the consumer interface, they need someone with a little common sense to redesign the way it works through the screen to the user. I just want to make music, not have to immerse myself into a system first, my music comes first. I believe the day of the workstation is over.

[@JuliusDeBerryJr]

There are tutorials. But I'll help you if you need additional help. What exactly don't you understand?
