Creating a Preset for use with MIDI Sequencing
After selecting MULTI mode, as described above, the next step in the process is to create a preset
that will configure the KT for MIDI transmission and reception.
1. Press the (SELECT_SEQ/PRESET} button. The KT will display the last preset, sequence, or
song that was selected.
2. Using the upper {0} through {6} buttons and the lower {0}through {9} buttons, select a new
location for your preset. Press {ENTER} when you’re done. The next display asks you to
confirm your choice. Press {ENTER} one more time.
3. A display appears asking you to set the time signature. Since the KT doesn’t know whether
you’re creating a sequence or a preset (which are similar processes), press {ENTER} twice to
confirm both parts of the time signature. The next display asks you to name your preset.
4. Using the {<} and {>} buttons, the Data Entry Slider, and the {CURSOR} buttons to spell out
the name of your preset. Use a name that describes the special use of this preset, “MIDI
PRESET”, for example. Press {ENTER} when you’re finished. The display will show the
name of your preset and its location.
5. Press the {EDIT_TRACK} button, then the first {SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} button.
6. Press the lower {5} button to select the MIDI Status page.
iPSET55 Trk01 -
Status = LOCAL
7. Use the {VALUE} buttons to change the Status parameter to “BOTH”.
iPSET55 Trk01 -
Status = BOTH
8. Select each of the remaining seven tracks of the preset by pressing their
{SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} button and change the Status parameter from “LOCAL” to
“BOTH”.
9. After you’ve set the MIDI status to “BOTH” for all eight tracks, save your preset by pressing
the {SAVE} button twice (once to confirm the name of the preset, which you could change at
this time, and once to save the preset).
Assigning MIDI Reception Channels
The final step in using the KT with an external multi-track MIDI sequencer is to assign each track
in the current KT sequence or song to receive on the desired MIDI channel.
Each of the 8 tracks of the current sequence or song are controlled independently in MULTI
mode. The KT defaults to the MIDI channel assignments shown in the diagram below. You can
change these assignments as necessary, and set any of the 8 tracks to receive on any of the 16
available MIDI channels. You can also set a track’s MIDI Status to *EXT* so that it does not
receive incoming MIDI at all (press the lower {5} button to select the MIDI Status page).
