Korg Kronos Tutorial: Combi Creation Layers, Split and Velocity Split 

Guys, I had an hour private session with Narf and learned some awesome methods that I wasn't aware for decades ( 4 years). He has got very good knowledge about the content and his delivering method to me was very much in layman terms and hands on practical. He is very committed delivers the topic very clear and concise. His charge is US$ 45.00 per hour but it is really worth it. By the way I am from Calgary, Canada. Although we have 16 hours of time difference he showed up on time and very punctual. Narf is very much focused, results oriented and provides the best service to his audience and students. I will be scheduling another session with him soon to learn more. Cheers

Just the information on copying in from a program is worth its weight in gold to me. This is something I have been trying to figure out and just not got around to asking on the Korg Kronos Facebook group. How to create splits and unselect the damper pedal was also useful. You must have spent countless hours learning this stuff and very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge in easy bite sized pieces.

Your training style is very easy to follow and will most definitely assist me in getting the most out of my Kronos X 88. Thank you!

Very helpful. I recently got a Kronos. Your instruction is slow and precise. Exactly what I need to get a grasp on the layout of this machine. Thank you for the great video.

Very good and simple explanation..the best thus far.

Hello RU-vidrs, This is Ashok again from Calgary, AB, Canada. I had my second session with Francis last Sunday, May 30th and he covered many aspects including how to change the Karma scenes during life performance as well as organizing the set lists with sounds for performance. At last he also showed me how to utilize the Karma scenes when composing an Orchestral theme. Honestly I owned my Kronos 2 for 4 years but never knew I could do all those. Unfortunately spent a lots of $$$ purchasing sounds to compose my themes and songs, which could have easily avoided if had come across this program before. Based on the session I was able to change my bass with the Karma effect on my new hip hop song that I composed, which, will be in the media within 2-3 weeks. Again, if you own a Kronos it is ridiculously prudent to go through these sessions with Francis. I invested in it and instantly starting to reap the harvest and ongoing guys. Cheers

Excellent! Thank you for this. I'm really glad people like you are doing tutorials on the kronos again.It seemed that for some reason, nobody was. I've had mine since the Kronos first came out but I'm still learning. I think I'll never be done with this beautiful baby! Every day is another wonder and like I said before , I've had mine since 2011, September. The best keyboard ever!

Great video. Thanks very much. from Japanese user

Thank you Francis. You are by far the best Kronos instructor on YT. ❤

Great video Francis... looking forward to the next one already!

Thanks man. Lots of appreciatios from Iran

Great way to find out important features simply explained!

Thanks for your tutorial! It is clear and easy to understand!

This video was absolutely tremendous. Excellent instruction, easily understandable for newbies like myself with easy to follow steps. However I need one more instructional on (using this combi you created in this example) how to configure an expression pedal to control Timbre 2 so I can bring the string pad volume up or down via expression pedal while playing.... I happen to be using a Moog EP-3 pedal

Thank you so very much!You really know your stuff! Keep up the great work!

Great tutorials Francis, big fan of your work and sound packs

Excellent help. Many thanks Narf.

Thanks! Super helpful!!!!

Thanks Francis, great tutorial, I learned so much. 🙏🤘🏻

You’ve just saved my arse. I got my Kronos yesterday, and need to program 30 songs ASAP. The manual is good, but I’m a visual learner. Thank you for showing me what I need to do! Also have to include a second controller keyboard, but that makes sense now!

Great. Very well explained.thank you and God bless you.

Thks very much for this very well explained tutorial!

Excellent instructional video.

I just got the Kronos 2 and I never used any Korg product before and it was really intimidating looking at the whole setting for the first time but this video really helped bro. thank you so much.

Very very helpful! Thank you so much!

Great work love it 😊

Great video. I learned a lot.

That was very helpful, thank you!

Brilliant, will watch your others

Thank you so much sir I have got Kronos 2 and I am learning from your tutorial...

Great to see someone actually explaining in a very good way how to use the Kronos from the ground up! Hope this turns into a Series. One of the “most wanted” explanations needed re the Kronos is saving, ksc files, samples etc and then finding them later...How to import purchased libraries and place them where you want them. The whole structure of the Kronos is a major prob when people first buy them. There are You Tube videos, but not as well explained as yours! Great work. Hope you get thousands of “likes”.

Hello. This is the best explained video for Kronos combis. Great job. Keep going!!!

Super helpful! Thank you!

Thanks a lot, this was very useful.

Great Kronos tutorial...Subed!

Great video, thank you!

Thank you for this awesome tutorial!

Thus far, NarfSound tutorials are my favorite. Every detail is covered in the process with very clear verbal and visual instruction. Thank you!

You made it easyyyyyyyy.......thanks

Thanks for the "timbre" vs "track" distinction. And in Korg-speak a "channel" almost exclusively refers to MIDI channel.

This video was awesome, just got a kronos workstation at my church and this vid is a life saver.

Muito obrigado. Merci beaucoup

Great tutorial...Subed!

Thanks :) it helped me alot :)

Informative video. Thank you.

Love your channel.....

Gracias 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Great video narfsounds, thanks for this crucial info, so very much appreciated. As an aside, the only difficulty I'm having is the extreme low end of your audio track in this video, making it hard to catch some of your words. I tried using CC but I'd rather look at your onscreen movements rather than reading your words. Again, many thanks for all of your helpful videos.

thanks

bravo

Many thanks for this. I have just purchased a new Kronos 61 and thought that creating a combi would be simple like on my Montage. I had a Krome in the past and often struggled to get the program to sound like I wanted when in Combi mode. Your video has shown me how to do it using 'Copy From Program'. Not sure if that feature was in Krome. Once again many thanks.😊

Helped me solve a different problem, thanks. I started a song using Setup to record (enter+record) and then wanted to add other timbres to some unused sequencer tracks, but they were muted. Unmuting them didn’t make them heard. They were still silent for some reason. I don’t know what the reason was but I solved it by using “copy from program” in the drop down list to import the timbre to the track. That seemed to unsilence it.

Nice video mate, it's good to see how the GUI and workflow got enhanced since Kronos gen. 1, does this new model has improved CPU? Does it boot up quick?

greeting, nice video. i picked up my kronso this week and trying to setup a combi need help. i own a 01/Wfd but the kronos does not setup the same. i want to write a combi with 16 midi channels and get each channel to pick only general midi patches, then give it a name let's say " jump" so when ever i do a gig i can pick "just" and let my daw change the patches.

Well produced tutorial - however the highs are muted which makes it not as clear while listening. Thumbs up.

This was a GREAT tutorial............Thanks But is there no way to preview each sound on each track separately?

Thanks for the informative video! How can you insert a timbre with karma into combi without having the karma play for all the other timbres?

how do you turn off the unwanted affect. basically what i’m trying to do is the program called Crazy, which is in the fast synths category to the Combination called Sonic Skyscarpers. each time i do this and bring the sound in with the effects it then makes the other sounds on combi sounds different.

I have Roland PK-5A MIDI bass pedals that I intend to use (as a controller) with my Korg Kronos 2. My question is how can I assign a particular bass sound preset from my Kronos’ sound bank to the MIDI bass pedals, while simultaneously being able to play an entirely different sound on my Kronos? I hope this is not too complex a question for this forum!!! Thanks so much for your help!!!

I would like to know if it is possible to put in Korg Kronos Tutorial the subject: KARMA. Att Vegerson

Great tutorial. Have been playing the Kronos for a long time not aware of how to do this. Looking forward to using it in gig environment. Pros I know using Kronos don't utilise this

Hello one question please , How to remove the "ticking" sound when you press the Damper pedal? thank you
