About the KROME’s Programs
Programs are the basic sounds of the KROME.
You can play them by themselves, layer them together
in Combinations, or play a different Program on each
of the 16 MIDI tracks, either from the internal
sequencer or from external computer‐based
sequencers.
This section of the manual takes a quick look at playing
Programs, including tours of the front‐panel
controllers and basic editing techniques.
