Turning the power on/off

Getting ready to play

1.
Preparing the power supply
Either connect the AC adapter, or install AA batteries.
2.
Connecting peripheral equipment
Connect your audio equipment, foot controllers, and SD card.
Depending on how you're using the KROSS, you can also connect MIDI
and USB devices at this time. Adjust the volume of your connected audio
equipment (such as a monitor amp) to minimize it, or turn it off.

Turning the power on
Minimize the VOLUME knob of the KROSS, and then
turn on the power by holding down the power button
until the display backlight is lit.
Do not insert or remove an SD card from the slot while
the KROSS is starting-up.
4.
Adjust the volume while playing the keyboard
Turn on the power of your monitor amp. Adjust the
VOLUME knob of the KROSS and the volume control
of your monitor amp so that the volume is appropriate.
The KROSS has an auto power-off function. If a cer-
tain length of time elapses without the unit being oper-
ated, the power turns off automatically.
When you've finished
First, adjust the VOLUME knob of the KROSS and the volume control of your
monitor amp to minimize the volume. Next, turn off the power of your monitor
amp. Finally, turn off the power by holding down the power button of the
KROSS until the backlight goes dark.
You must save your data before you turn off the power.
Unsaved data will be lost. Be sure to save important data to internal
memory or to an SD card.
Do not turn off the power while an operation is in progress.
Never turn off the power while the display indicates "Now writing into
internal memory." Doing so might cause internal data to be damaged.

power when the unit has not been played or operated(*) for a certain length of
time.
With the factory settings, this is set to four hours.

Using the VOLUME knob is not considered to be an operation.
Auto power-off settings
If auto power-off is enabled, a window regarding auto power-off appears when
start-up is completed.
If you want to change the time setting, or to disable the auto power-off function,
set the GLOBAL mode parameter Automatic Power-Off.
(See "Auto power-off function" of the Operation Guide)
Warning message before auto-off

formed on the KROSS a message warns you that the auto power-off function is
about to turn off the power.
If you want to continue using the KROSS, press the keyboard, or operate a but-
ton or a controller.
