Korg Kross Tutorial | EPIC COMBI (Part 1) Planning Patches and MIDI Hardware

Part one begins our little journey to design and program a COMBI of epic proportions on the Korg Kross. In this series I will cover how to go about planning your sounds/patches, setting up a second board to be controlled via MIDI, designing splits across both boards, adding harmonic layers to your original sounds, accessing a hidden layer via external modulation, and some finishing touches to make this epic COMBI shine. In this video (part 1) I go over the steps involved to plan your sounds and overall layout of the COMBI, as well as the hardware steps needed to connect a second board. In the next video I will cover all the patches in the Kross and go over each split in detail. The example song I'll be using is Africa by Toto.

I started watching part III and realized I needed to start here

[@EricJungeMusic]

It's a haul!

[@Tubeinnit]

Very cool, nicely played too!

[@EricJungeMusic]

Thanks Dave for the epic compliment.

[@theweatheredventerer1254]

Awesome video as its something I would like to do between my KK2 and Microkorg .

[@EricJungeMusic]

as long as it has the proper MIDI I/O it should be do-able.

[@Bocaca49]

Can you make a video on how to edit and create drum loops on korg? Thanks 🙏

[@EricJungeMusic]

the step sequencer? good idea.

[@vicoycoytv6516]

Hellow sir, my kross 2 will come soon, can i ask if kross 2 can save edited patch (split/layer) on the 1 to 16 pad? If thats possible its overkill

[@EricJungeMusic]

yes it can.

[@shekai48]

can i connect korg kross 2 to mainstage?

[@rhea-musik]

Can you please make tutorial of how to change sound without cut? Thank you

[@EricJungeMusic]

if you're referring to "patch remain" this is not a capable feature.

[@oliversh315]

Hi, I saw your video like 6 months ago and I couldnt wait to try this, I had just 1 korg kross and I recently got my self an arturia controller, I tried to connect them like you explained but it didn´t work, is there a chance you could walk me throw the process via email or some other form of contact? I would really apreciate

[@EricJungeMusic]

Sorry I do not have time unfortunately due to my busy schedule. I would try tech support for Arturia and/or Korg or their respective online forums. Thanks for reaching out.

[@PremJHans]

Watched all 3 parts, Thanks! I've kross 2 and yamaha psr i455 is it possible to route audio from kross to yamaha ?as the psr has its own speakers.

[@EricJungeMusic]

thanks! I just put up part 4 a few days ago. I'm not sure about your question, are you talking about routing audio or MIDI transmission?

[@PremJHans]

@@EricJungeMusic thanks for the reply , audio. is it possible? or only midi information can be in and out.

[@EricJungeMusic]

@@PremJHans I suppose theoretically audio could be routed to the PSR keyboard if it has a proper audio in from the out of the Kross. But it might require some type(s) of adapters to make it work.

merci question comment faire pour avoir la version 2.1 du kross 2 j ai la premeire version ,merci question le son esct ce que tu l as creer ou c es un son d une carte son car c es le bouton USER de category pour ca queje demande merci

[@EricJungeMusic]

Sorry, my French is rusty. You can try updating the Kross' firmware from Korg off of their web site. The "user" patches are sounds I either created from scratch or adapted from presets.
