You can record the input from the LINE IN jack and assign a stereo sample up to 14 seconds to each pad. Up to four pads (so 4 samples) can be triggered simultaneously. You can edit the sample waveform using functions such as normalization start & end loop point parameters etc., and even re-resize in KROSS 2, allowing you to perform extended sampling without the need for additional equipment. Long audio files from an SD card can also be assigned to these pads. Direct access to the sounds and functions you need It is easy to navigate the KROSS 2, thanks to a user-friendly layout.

The MIC IN 6.35 jack allows you to directly connect a microphone, so there is no need to provide a separate mixer when recording live. A vocoder function is also integrated and you can easily perform vocoder sounds with quick access via the real-time control section. There is also a mini
