About the KROME EX
Supplementary Manual
This supplementary manual explains the expanded
functions and other features of the KROME EX
regarding its programs, combinations and so on.
Please read this as a supplement to be used with the
KROME Operation Guide and the KROME Parameter
Guide.
Main Features of the
KROME EX
Added and refreshed sounds
In addition to the full keyboard stereo long-sampled
and non-looped piano, the drums with ambience, and
other high-definition KROME sounds, the KROME EX
features a wealth of new sounds and patterns such as
polyphonic synth sounds for EDM (Electronic Dance
Music), synth leads, drum kits, filter-x pianos, vocal
leads, folk instruments and sound effects. Also, each of
the piano sounds including grand, upright and electric
pianos have been expanded.
Below is a comparison of the sounds, patterns and so
on between the KROME EX and the KROME.
KROME Sound and pattern data comparison: EX vs.

Selecting Programs,
Combinations and Other Sounds
Here’s how to select the new sounds added to the
KROME EX.
These instructions show how to select the banks that
have been added for programs and combinations.
Banks have not been added for all other sounds (data
has been added within the banks), so the method of
selecting banks is basically the same as for the
KROME. The relevant pages for selecting those sounds
will be listed.

Press a blinking or dark (unlit) button to select
banks A–F. The corresponding button will light.
Select the combination bank using the BANK
A–F buttons

Data dump transmission times
Transmission
The table below shows the dump data size and time
required (via MIDI).
*1: The USB-MIDI dump times listed here are for when
the KROME EX is connected to a computer with a USB
2.0 port. The time required will depending on the
computer system you’re using.
Note: More time will be required if the song data
contains SysEx events, since these must be converted.
Cross-compatibility of files between
KROME and KROME EX
The KROME EX can convert and load .PCG file and
.SNG files (KROME format). When loading songs
created on the KROME into the KROME EX, load both
the .SNG file and the .PCG file that were created on the
KROME.
On the other hand, the KROME cannot load .PCG file
and .SNG files in KROME EX format. Save the song
data in .SNG files as a standard MIDI file (SMF format)
in order to load the data into the KROME.
KROME sound editor incompatibility
The KROME Editor/Plug-in Editor cannot be used
with the KROME EX.
Also, an Editor/Plug-in Editor for the KROME EX is
not available.

Fonctions principales du
KROME EX
Palette de sons rafraîchie et élargie
Outre le son de piano provenant de longs échantillons
non bouclés capturés en stéréo sur toute la tessiture du
clavier, la batterie avec ambiance et les autres sons de
haute définition du KROME, le KROME EX offre une
foule de nouveaux sons et motifs comme des sons de
synthé polyphonique taillés sur mesure pour l’EDM
(‘Electronic Dance Music’), des synthés lead, kits de
batterie, pianos à filtre x, des sons de chant lead,
d’instruments traditionnels et des effets sonores. En
outre, tous les sons de piano, y compris les son de
piano à queue, de piano droit et de pianos électriques,
ont été étendus.
Le tableau ci-dessous compare les sons, motifs, etc. du
KROME EX et du KROME.
Comparatif des données de sons et motifs KROME:
