What Are Tracks?
In the KT, the term track refers to one of the eight internal “channels” (16 in a song), each
containing a sound and a complete set of performance parameters, including volume, pan,
controller settings, MIDI channel, keyboard range, and others.
When the KT is used as a multi-timbral sound generator and played from its own sequencer, the
various tracks of the sequencer control the sounds to be played by the KT. Similarly, the
sequencer or the keyboard of the KT can be used to send on MIDI channels to which remote
MIDI devices are connected.
When the KT is controlled from an external MIDI sequencer, the various tracks of the sequencer
can be assigned to different MIDI channels, which in turn control the sounds played by the KT
(when MIDI Mode=MULTI on System•MIDI page 6). Each MIDI channel can be thought of as an
extension of the sequencer’s track.
Whether playing locally, sending MIDI to a remote device, or receiving MIDI from an external
sequencer, we describe this logical construct, comprised of a MIDI channel, a sound and various
performance parameters, as a track.
Each KT preset has eight independent polyphonic tracks that are selected with the eight
{SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} buttons:
1 2 3
4
5 6

Sequencer/Preset Tracks
Let’s take a look at the tracks:
• Press {SELECT_SEQ/PRESET}. This puts the KT in Select Sequence/Preset mode.
• Press the {SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} {1} button. The display looks something like this:
Track Number Bank Location Program Number
m m m
Trk01 i:INT 00
Dynamic Grand
i
Name of sound on track 1
This displays the sound on Track 1. Pressing other {SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} buttons will
select the other seven tracks.
