Please refer to the updated PDF manuals for more information.

KROSS2 Editor and Plug-In Editor

Version 1.1 adds support for the KROSS2 Editor and Plug-In Editor, which let you
edit and organize sounds from your macOS or Windows computer.

Load .KSC, .KMP and .KSF sample files

Sample data created by sampling-capable models such as the KRONOS, OASYS,
M3, and TRITON can be loaded (subject to the amount of available user sample
memory) and played.

Pad Sampler – Export to KSC and WAV

A sample that you recorded with the pad sampler can be exported as a .KSC file or
as a sample file in WAVE format. A .KSC file can be loaded into a sampling-
capable model such as the KRONOS, OASYS, M3, or TRITON series, and played.
WAV format sample files can be used in a computer application.

REALTIME CONTROLS – VOCODER improvements

Audio In On/Off, Gain Controls and Mode controls have been added to improve
usability.

If you’re using an older version, you can download the latest software free of
charge from the Korg website (http://www.korg.com). Please follow the included
instructions for installation into your KROSS2.
