KORG KRONOS MIDI Control With Roland Integra-7

We thought we would do a basic video showing how the KRONOS works controlling external devices via MIDI. We coupled the KRONOS with the Integra-7 which is an awesome sound combination and the two can work extremely well together. Feel free to leave any questions or comments.

A little clarification of terms for you. On the Kronos channel refers to MIDI. When you are working in a combi you have 16 timbres. Each timbre can be on its own MIDI channel. People might be getting confused and trying to change the wrong thing. Oh, and by the way in sequencer mode they're called tracks.

[@jlestudios4211]

Thank you so much for this tip. By the way I wondering why when you are moving the dial from integra 7 the patch number from the kronos is moving as well. Im referring to 3:09 minutes from your video. It works for me but the other way around.

[@edos4387]

Can you do this in programs just for a one sound from the external device on Korg Kronos 2?

[@raymondo6665]

Great video. This doesn't happen if you use SEQ mode. I use empty Sequences (rather than Combis) to avoid triggering the external device.....and no need to mute the external device. No idea why it isn't the same for SEQ and COMBI. I presume it's a bug that hasn't been resolved.

if i recored tracks in my daw (digital performer 10) with a sound module but want my korg kronos to play that sound (piano) then do a patch changes on the same midi channel how do i setup the kronos to work?

[@CREATIVEEYEMUSIC]

Excellent video only in my case I am trying to get my Kronos to change a Combination patch on my Fantom G . I know how to enter the msb, lsb and program change numbers into the Kronos EXT 2 setting within the combination. It is changing the Fantom patch but the patch then appears edited ( i.e. those little red check ticks next to some of the 8 voices Ch1 through to 8 ) I assumed that the Kronos may have been sending additional data to the Fantom so switched all other 15 channels off even though all were set to INT. I also tried unchecking all the midi receive options in the Fantom. As I mentioned getting the Fantom to switch the Kronos patches is very straightforward. DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A FANTOM G by any chance?

[@fbarbin1]

Would you recommend the Kronos as a master controller even with the issue of not being able to turn midi transmit off? Or would you just recommend another controller and just using the Kronos as a slave ? I hope the answer is yes for Kronos controller being I love the set list mode Makes it easy to change on the fly quick Looking forward to your answer and I'm so glad somebody finally put a video up like this. I wish there were dVD on this same situation

[@natashalister5541]

so how do you get the integra to only change studio sets not each channel sound? I want to use for example channel 14 on the kronos to select the studio set on the integra, then set any parts on the integra to channel 14 that i want to sound but dont want the individual parts to change via midi, only the studio set.

[@RonaldFigura]

Try setting the upper and lower key range to C-1.

[@CREATIVEEYEMUSIC]

Hi I’m trying to achieve something similar but instead of using an Integra-7 I’ve connected a Roland MKS 20 piano module.As far as I can see you can’t mute individual channels so struggling to set a keyboard split for the piano as just covering all 88 notes. Any advice would be really appreciated as have the Roland on midi channel 6 and the Kronos ch 6 set to EXT (EXT2 doesn’t seem to make any difference ) Thanks in advance

[@COLINKEY50]

Hallo i need to play the sounds of the Kronos through a CMEUF 80 controller keyboard via MIDI do you have any idea how i can achieve this. Many thanks

[@britesynth]

this is why most of the time you use/asign ch1 for your main board and use other ch for your external devices, this way you can do ch combis, eg. ch1 all kronos, ch2 all integra, =)

[@rolandgerard6064]

Thanks, good explanation..

[@seabreese147]

I purchased a Korg tr rack and I have a kronos and I can't seem to get it working some how. Any pointers? Thanks.

[@KewelDr]

Thanks in advance for this great information. I want to do the opposite of what you are doing here. I want to control the Kronos with an external device - I want to play my midi guitar through a Roland GR-55 guitar synth, and have that trigger the Kronos sounds. Is this in the realm of possibly and what would be the setup. Thanks again.

[@ginises83]

I have problem to connect my Korg 50 on Kronos , no sound . i dont understand why ! please help me Bro ! 🙏🏻

[@rte0650]

HI, I have the same set up. But when I turn the dial, the PC number on the kronos changes but the Integra 7 doesn't. The patch remains the same. Can you please explain what parameters i have to change on the Integra and the Kronos for them to sync. Thank you so much!

[@britesynth]

Mc Mc roland has prog change settings, i dont temember exactly, very useful for slave devices, turn it on and it will sync to your master, turn it off and patches wont change, =)

[@Mark_Page_MTB]

Great video and explanation :-)

[@givemore658]

can you record the roland sound into the kronos?

[@jonesgerard]

+GIVE MORE Yes. Kronos is a sampler, sounds can also be mapped across the keyboard.

[@hermandavid1757]

What other keyboards other than the Kronos that can do this?

[@britesynth]

Herman Union fantom, but i like korgs versatility for live playing

[@hermandavid1757]

gotcha

[@gregchadwick8444]

You cover up all your Global midi settings in Kronos withy the 5080 photo. The Kronos midi filter section is important. It would laos help if you talked about the modes of your 5080 when using Kronos as a master keyboard

[@gregchadwick8444]

Correction: the Integra photo ( not a 5080)

[@spec24]

My Kronos outputs on every channel. Doesn't seem to matter what I set it or the external synths to.

[@raymondo6665]

use SEQ mode instead..........that works as you would expect it to.....just don't add any tracks....unless you want to.

[@ThaJSpraya]

Only use your korg for your korg , there not midi controllers , my korgs keys buttons wheel , they all didnt last , no ones has thats why you see so few tritons , or oasys workstations in 2013
