About

Kronos 3 Editor turns your iPad or iPhone into a hands-on sound editor, effects editor, set-list editor and librarian for the Korg Kronos. Connect over USB or network MIDI and every knob, envelope and switch is live: edits reach the unit instantly as realtime SysEx parameter changes, and panel moves on the Kronos echo straight back into the app. No file round-trips, no guesswork. FLOW AND CLASSIC VIEWS Flow lays each program out as a signal path: pick a stage (COMMON, OSC, PITCH, FILTER, AMP, MOD, FX) and that stage's key controls and live graphs are in front of you. Classic shows every parameter in pages and tabs, mirroring the unit's own screens. ALL 9 SOUND ENGINES HD-1 plus the eight EXi engines: AL-1, SGX-2, CX-3, STR-1, MOD-7, MS-20EX, PolysixEX and EP-1. Tens of thousands of parameters, decoded and editable. EFFECTS EDITOR The whole effect chain on one screen: all 16 slots (12 insert, two master, two total, plus Common). Tweak any effect live, change an effect's type on the fly, and audition a chain by ear, all following the Kronos in real time. SET-LIST EDITOR Build and rearrange a whole show: assign any program, combination or song to a slot, reorder by dragging, and set every slot's name, colour, comment, volume, hold time and transpose. The 9-band EQ and a live tempo move the unit as you drag. One guarded Write stores the set list to the instrument, verified byte for byte. LIBRARIAN AND BROWSER Pull the sound you are hearing from the unit with one tap. Browse every program and combination bank with category filters, favourites and search. Selecting a sound in the app switches the hardware; dialling one in on the hardware follows in the app. WRITE WITH CONFIDENCE Live edits go to the unit's edit buffer, which is volatile and reversible. Storing to a bank or set-list slot is a separate, explicit step with a read-back and diff first, so you see exactly what will change before anything is committed to the instrument's memory. SAVE AND SHARE Save programs and set lists as standard .syx files into the Files app, load them back later, or move them to your computer. REQUIREMENTS A Korg Kronos 3 music workstation, connected via USB-MIDI (through a USB-C or Lightning MIDI interface) or a CoreMIDI network session. Enable MIDI System Exclusive on the unit (GLOBAL > MIDI > MIDI Filter > Enable Exclusive). The app runs without the instrument, but editing needs the hardware.

What's New in Kronos 3 Editor

1.3.0

July 16, 2026

The biggest update yet: two full new editors, both live on your Kronos. EFFECTS EDITOR Tap FX in the top bar and the whole window becomes the loaded program's effect chain. All 16 slots are on screen at once (the 12 insert effects, two master and two total effects, plus a Common tile), each with its name, an on/off light and its chain links. Move any effect parameter and the Kronos responds instantly. Pick a different effect for a slot and it changes on the unit live, opened at the new effect's defaults and ready to tweak. Build and audition a whole chain by ear, with no page diving on the panel. SET-LIST EDITOR Open any set list and switch its tab from Play to Edit to build and rearrange a whole show from your iPad or iPhone: - Put any program, combination or song in any slot. The Prog/Combi browser opens as a picker, with all its banks, search and category filters. - Rearrange by dragging a slot onto another, or use Cut, Copy, Paste and Insert, the same operations as the Kronos's own Edit page. - Every slot detail on one screen: name, the 16 panel colours, label size, volume, hold time, transpose, and the full 512-character comment. - The 9-band set-list EQ, live on faders, moving the Kronos in real time as you drag, with input trim and bypass. - A live Tempo slider that sets the instrument's tempo on the fly during a performance. - One guarded Write saves the whole set list to any of the 128 slots, verifies the instrument received it byte for byte, then commits it to permanent memory. The footer always shows what is unsaved, and leaving with unsaved changes asks first. - Save and load complete set lists as .syx files, for backups or for moving a show between machines. Requires a Korg Kronos 3 connected over USB or network MIDI.
