GM: Hold down 0 and press –.
g(1)–g(9): Hold down 0 and press the desired num‐
ber 1–9. For banks that do not have variation
sounds, the basic GM sounds will be recalled. (An
“*” will be appended to the beginning of the pro‐

g(d): Hold down 0 and press (.).
Auditioning the sound
Play the keyboard to audition the program you’ve
selected.
The velocity meter shows the note‐on velocity.
• This shows the velocity value of note‐on events for
the global MIDI channel, such as the keyboard,
MIDI IN, and arpeggiator. (If multiple note‐on
events are received simultaneously, the highest
velocity value is shown.)
• Since this shows the note‐on velocity values, it will
not be affected by the settings of the volume knob
or by changes in the audio signal level.
Overview: Program Banks
As program banks, the KROME provides the six banks
A–F and the GM banks (GM–g(d)). With the factory
settings, the KROME has 640 preload programs in
banks A–E. Bank F contains only initialized programs.
Programs you’ve created should be stored in this bank.
With the exception of the GM–g(d) banks, you are free
to save by overwriting these program memory areas.
You can also save these programs on an SD card.
Programs are organized into six banks as shown in the
following table.
