1. AC Power connector
Connect
the
included
power
cable
here.
We
recommend
that
you
first
connect
the
power
cable
to
the
KRONOS,
and
then
connect
the
other
end
of
the
cable
to
an
AC
outlet.
2. POWER switch
This
switch
turns
the
power
on
and
off.
Before
turning
KRONOS
off,
make
sure
that
you’ve
saved
any
edits
to
your
Programs,
Combis,
Songs,
or
other
user
data.
After
turning
the
power
off,
please
wait
for
at
least
ten
seconds
before
you
turn
the
power
on
again.
3. USB 2.0 A & B ports
There
are
two
high
‐
speed
USB
A
ports,
for
connecting
storage
media
such
as
hard
disks,
CD
‐
R
drives,
and
flash
media.
The
high
‐
speed
USB
B
port
lets
you
connect
to
a
Mac
or
Windows
PC,
for
sending
and
receiving
MIDI
and
audio,
and
for
connecting
to
the
computer
editor
program.
4. Analog AUDIO INPUTS
You
can
use
the
audio
inputs
for
recording,
sampling,
and
real
‐
time
mixing
through
the
built
‐
in
effects.
Mic/Line Inputs 1 and 2
The
inputs
use
balanced
1/4”
TRS
connectors,
and
can
accept
either
microphone
‐
level
or
line
‐
level
signals.
Each
of
the
two
inputs
has
an
identical
set
of
controls,
as
described
below.
MIC/LINE switches
These
set
the
input’s
nominal
signal
level.
Set
these
switches
according
to
the
type
of
device
that
you’re
connecting,
and
then
use
the
LEVEL
knobs
(described
below)
to
optimize
the
gain.
Use
the
LINE
setting
(switch
pressed
in)
when
connecting
to
mixers,
computer
audio
systems,
signal
processors,
electric
guitars,
or
other
synthesizers.
The
nominal
level
is
+4dBu,
with
12dB
of
headroom.
Note:
Guitars
and
basses
with
active
pickups
can
be
connected
directly.
Passive
pickups
can
also
be
used,
but
the
impedance
mismatch
will
cause
both
a
change
in
tone
and
a
reduction
in
volume.
For
best
results,
route
such
guitars
through
a
pre
‐
amp
or
effects
unit
before
connecting
them.
Use
the
MIC
setting
(switch
in
out
position)
only
when
connecting
a
microphone.
Note
that
some
microphones,
such
as
condensers,
may
require
external
phantom
power,
which
is
not
supplied
by
the
KRONOS.
In
this
case,
use
an
external
mic
preamp,
and
then
connect
the
preamp
to
the
KRONOS.
LEVEL knobs
These
knobs
let
you
make
more
precise
adjustments
to
the
input
level,
after
setting
the
basic
levels
with
the
MIC/LINE
switches.
The
MIN
setting
is
unity
gain;
the
MAX
setting
provides
about
40dB
of
gain
above
unity.
5. Analog AUDIO OUTPUTS
All
of
the
analog
audio
outputs
use
balanced
TRS
1/4”
connectors,
and
are
referenced
to
a
+4dBu
signal
level.
(MAIN) L/MONO, R
These
are
the
main
stereo
outputs;
their
volume
is
controlled
by
the
VOLUME
knob.
All
of
the
factory
Programs
and
Combis
are
programmed
to
play
through
these
outputs.
If
no
cable
is
connected
to
the
R
output,
L/MONO
will
carry
a
mono
summation
of
the
stereo
signal.
Use
this
when
connecting
to
a
device
(such
as
a
keyboard
amp)
which
has
only
a
mono
input.
(INDIVIDUAL) 1…4
These
4
additional
audio
outputs
let
you
isolate
sounds,
audio
inputs,
or
audio
tracks
for
recording
or
complex
live
sound
setups.
For
more
information,
see
in
the
chapter
of
the
OG.
Note
that
these
outputs
are
not
affected
by
the
VOLUME
knob.
6. MIDI
MIDI
lets
you
connect
KRONOS
to
computers
or
other
MIDI
devices,
for
sending
and
receiving
notes,
controller
gestures,
sound
settings,
and
so
on.
7. S/P DIF IN & OUT
These
jacks
provide
24
‐
bit
optical
S/P DIF
input
and
output.
Make
sure
to
use
optical
cables
desig1ned
for
digital
audio.
Whenever
you
use
digital
audio
connections,
make
sure
that
all
connected
systems
are
set
so
that
there
is
one
and
only
one
word
clock
master.
Set
the
KRONOS
word
clock
using
the
System
Clock
parameter
on
the
Global
P0:
Basic
Setup
page.
