KT General MIDI Parameters
Track/Channel Number Range: 01 to 16
This parameter is used to select and view the sounds assigned to each MIDI Channel. When this
parameter is selected, the Data Entry Controls will scroll through all 16 Track/Channels.
Track/Channel 10 is permanently assigned to play Drum Maps only. When Ch=10 is selected,
the GM Sound Number parameter will scroll through the nine available GM/GS Drum Maps.
Playing on the KT keyboard will always be transmitted on the displayed MIDI channel.
GM Sound Number Range: 001 to 128
The General MIDI Sound number parameter determines which sound will be assigned to each
MIDI channel. When this parameter is selected, the Data Entry Controls will change which of
the 128 General MIDI ROM sounds is assigned to the currently displayed Track/Channel. The
corresponding Program Change message will be transmitted via MIDI whenever this parameter
is edited.
Program Changes received on MIDI channels 1-9 and 11-16 will assign programs to the 16
Track/Channels from the 128 General MIDI sounds in ROM. MIDI Channel 10 can only access
the nine GM/GS Drum Maps, and will receive the corresponding GS Drum Map Program change
value (1=STANDRD-KIT, 9=ROOM-KIT, 17=POWER-KIT, 25=ELCTRNC-KIT,
26=TR-808-KIT, 33=JAZZ-KIT, 41=BRUSH-KIT, 49=ORCH-PERCSN, 128=MT-32-KIT).
The KT keyboard will always play the sound assigned to the displayed Track/Channel number.
Receive Status Range: ON or **
This parameter is set to receive MIDI data by default (ON). By changing the value for each MIDI
channel, you can define how many Track/Channels you want to receive data via MIDI.
Setting this parameter to “**” will disable reception of MIDI notes, controllers and program
changes on the displayed MIDI channel. Sounds can still be played from the keyboard, and live
playing will still transmit via MIDI on the displayed MIDI channel.
When set to “**,” the Track/Channel volume will be set to full on (127), so that your live playing
can use the full dynamic range. Resetting the status to ON will reset the Track/Channel volume
back to the General MIDI default value of 100.
Tip: When set to **, this parameter allows for “music-minus-one” applications in
General MIDI mode. By setting this parameter to **, you disable incoming MIDI for
the selected Track/Channel, boost the volume, and can play the assigned sound live
from the keyboard as the remaining sequence tracks play back via incoming MIDI.
No matter what the setting of this parameter, a CVP-1 Pedal connected to the CV•Pedal jack will
always control the volume of the selected Track/Channel.
