12 ENSONIQ KT Musician’s Manual
Status Range: BOTH, LOCAL, MIDI, or *EXT*
This determines the MIDI Status of the Base Channel. The four possible settings are:
BOTH Keys, controllers, etc., will play KT voices and will be sent via MIDI on the selected
MIDI channel. Incoming MIDI will play KT voices.
LOCAL Keys, controllers, etc., will only play KT voices, and will not send any data out via
MIDI. Incoming MIDI will play KT voices.
MIDI Keys, controllers, etc., will be sent out via MIDI when the keyboard is played.
However, keys played will not play KT voices. Incoming MIDI will play internal
voices. This is comparable to Local Off on some keyboards. Use this status when
you want to play remote MIDI devices.
*EXT* Same as MIDI Status except that incoming MIDI will not play KT voices. This is
useful when using the KT as a Master MIDI Controller with an external sequencer
and a number of other remote MIDI devices.
This chart details the behavior of sequencer tracks for each MIDI Status:
Track Status BOTH LOCAL MIDI *EXT*
Playing the keyboard plays KT voices YES YES NO NO
Playing the keyboard sends out MIDI YES NO YES YES
Playing the keyboard will be recorded by the sequencer YES YES YES YES
Incoming MIDI data plays KT voices YES NO YES NO
Incoming MIDI data will be recorded by the sequencer YES YES YES *
Playing the sequencer track (pressing {PLAY}) plays local voices YES YES NO NO
Playing the sequencer track sends out MIDI YES NO YES YES
*
NO in MULTI or MONO-B modes, YES in OMNI, POLY, and MONO-A modes.

Base Channel Pressure
Base Channel Pressure=CHANNEL
Base Channel Pressure Range: NONE, KEY, or CHANNEL
Determines which type of pressure the KT will receive on its base channel via MIDI (when MIDI
Mode=OMNI, POLY, or MONO-A, see below). This parameter also enables and disables pressure
transmission on the base channel to both KT voices and to external MIDI from Select Sound mode.
• NONE — The KT will not receive any pressure messages on the Base Channel via MIDI, and
the KT keyboard will not generate any channel pressure messages.
• KEY — The KT will receive Poly-Key™ (polyphonic pressure) on the Base Channel via MIDI,
but the KT keyboard will not generate any channel pressure messages. This type of
specialized pressure, which allows individual pressure control over each key, is found on
many of ENSONIQ’s other keyboards, such as the ASR-10 and TS-10.
• CHANNEL — The KT will receive Channel pressure and the KT will generate channel
pressure on the Base Channel, affecting both KT sounds and external MIDI. Channel
pressure is the most common of the pressure types and will affect the entire keyboard when
pressure is added to any key.
Note: The KT keyboard can only generate channel pressure; however, it can receive
both channel and Poly-Key pressure via incoming MIDI.
