Introduction
With a Krotos Studio Pro subscription, you gain access to the edit mode, enabling the creation of presets, and detailed customization of the factory presets. This guide will explore the core engine area, performance area, and assignment area. Watch the video below!
Exploring Edit Mode: The Core Engine Area
The core engine area is the hub for importing sound files. There are four tabs, and each tab has up to four core engines. These are different types of sampler that you add sounds to.
Add engines by clicking the ‘+ Add Engine’ button and choose between the Granular, Reformer AI, or Sampler engines. Up to 16 engines can be combined within a preset. This enables you to add up to 4,000 sound files.
Sounds can be added directly from your library through drag and drop. You can mute, solo, or remove samples at any time. You can also Control level, pan, pitch, looping, volume normalization from the sampler.
Finally, autoplay, release triggers, and selectable playback modes (Random and Round Robin) are available in the core engines, to enable to you to control your presets in a range of innovative and easy ways.
Performance Area
The performance area mirrors the perform view that is so recognisable in Krotos Studio, but with some additional features. The ‘note trigger’ checkbox allows sound generation via the XY pad. With this, you can click inside the XY pad and the sound will be created.
The performance area also contains trigger buttons and macro dials for even further control, all while keeping things simple.
Labels can be renamed by right clicking them, and a variety of performing templates are available to suit different use cases.
Assignment Area
You assign parameters to the XY pad by dragging them onto the drop zones. These turn green when hovered over. Multiple parameters can be mapped to a single component. Modulation depth can be adjusted via sliders in the modulation table. Remove assignments by clicking the X next to the slider.
Saving and Loading Presets
Save your customized presets by selecting ‘save preset as’ from the burger menu, naming, and storing them in your library. Load presets via the ‘load user preset’ option.
