Reinitializing the KT
The great power and flexibility of the KT lies in the fact that it is really a computer — a computer
disguised as a keyboard instrument, but a computer nonetheless. The software that operates the
KT is very sophisticated. If you have ever used a computer, you should be familiar with the need
to reboot your system occasionally when you get an error message, etc. Reinitializing the KT is
the equivalent of rebooting your computer.
There are a number of things that can happen to the KT (or any computer system) that might
scramble the system software — voltage surges, power failures, static electricity, etc. As with any
computer, very infrequently some unforeseen event or combination of events can cause the
software to become confused with strange and unpredictable results. Sometimes computers that
appear to be broken have no hardware problem, just corrupted data in the internal RAM
(Random Access Memory). Sometimes simply turning the KT power off and then on again will
cure the problem. If that doesn’t work, perhaps what is needed is to reinitialize the unit.
If your KT begins to behave in peculiar ways — if the display shows words or lines that shouldn’t
be there, if you start getting Unexpected Event messages, if the sequencer and edit functions start
doing unpredictable things, try reinitializing the KT before you seek factory service.
☞ Warning: When you reinitialize your KT all your current internal sounds and sequences/
presets will be lost (the 80 factory shipped i:INT sounds and the Tutorial Sequence are
automatically restored back into the internal memory after reinitializing). Therefore good
backup habits should be an important part of your routine. Save any important data to a
storage card or MIDI Sys-Ex before reinitializing the KT.
To Reinitialize the KT
1. Press the {EDIT_SEQ/PRESET} button. Its LED will light, letting you know the KT is now in
Edit Sequence/Preset mode.
2. While holding down the upper {9} button, press the lower {9} button.
3. The display shows:
Reinitialize sound & seq RAM?
4. Press the {YES} button (the {ENTER} button acts as a “Yes” button to respond to questions
on the display, and the {]} button acts as “No”).
If reinitializing your KT does not correct the problem, contact an Authorized ENSONIQ Repair
Station. To find the nearest Authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station, call 1-800-553-5151.
