Connecting the KT to a computer (or other MIDI sequencer)
The following steps describe how to connect your KT to a computer or other MIDI sequencer.
Refer to the above illustration when making these connections.
1. Power down all electronic devices before making any connections.
2. Using a MIDI Cable, connect the MIDI In jack of the KT to the MIDI Out jack of the
computer/hardware sequencer/sequence player. This allows MIDI data that is transmitted
from the external sequencer to be received and played back by the KT.
3. With a second MIDI cable, connect the MIDI Out jack of the KT to the MIDI In jack of the
external sequencer or computer. This allows notes and controllers that are played on the KT
to be transmitted to the external sequencer for recording.
Note: Many computers do not have MIDI jacks built into them, and require an
additional MIDI Interface connector between the computer and the KT.
4. Make sure the proper amplification is connected to the KT, and power on the computer, the
KT keyboard, and the amplification system (in that order).
Selecting MULTI Mode — Receiving on up to 8 MIDI Channels
MULTI mode is the key to unlocking the potential of the KT
as a multi-timbral MIDI receiver for
use with external MIDI sequencers/controllers. In MULTI mode, the 8 tracks of the current
sequence or song can receive MIDI information independently and polyphonically on up to 8
different MIDI channels. Here’s how to select MULTI mode:
1. Press {SYSTEM"MIDI}, followed by the lower {6} button. The display looks like this:

MIDI Mode=OMNI Xctrl = 002
2. Using the Data Entry Controls, select the MIDI Mode parameter and set it to MULTI.
