KT Quick-Start Guide
5
We’ve just selected a new sound—a Hammond organ. Play a few notes on the keyboard to hear
what it sounds like.
Note that the number in the top center of the display has changed from “00” to “01.” Each sound
in the KT has its own address, and that’s what this number represents. The display is telling us
that this sound resides at ROM location 01. ROM is itself an area within the KT’s memory. You
can think of the number on the display as a street address, and ROM as the name of the town.
We’ll explain this a bit more fully later on.
• Press the button directly below the printed number “2.” The display now shows:
r:ROM 02
Studio Keys
Here’s a special hybrid of electric piano.
Pressing each one of the KT’s ten lower number buttons will select a different sound. Take some
time now to press each button in turn and listen to the sound it selects.
• When you’re done, press the lower {0} button to get us back where we started.
10 Sets of 10
Your KT holds a great many sounds, and they’re grouped into sets of ten, like the ten we’ve just
discovered. Let’s find the other ten sets of ten in the ROM area of the KT’s memory.
So far, we’ve been pressing the buttons below the numbers printed in the center of the KT’s front
panel—we refer to these buttons as the “lower number buttons.”
The “upper number buttons,” the buttons above the numbers, select the ten sets of ten. When
you turned your KT on, it placed us in the group of ten sounds corresponding to the button
above the “0.”
Let’s go to the set of ten sounds associated with the button above “1.”
• Press the upper {1} button, and then the lower {0} button. Your display shows:
r:ROM 10
Concert Grand
Note that the address is now ROM 10. This tells you that this sound is reached by pressing the
upper number button above “1”—the first digit in the address—and the lower button below the
“0”—the second digit.
• Play a little music on your new Concert Grand.
• Press the other lower number buttons to view and play the remaining nine sounds in this set
of ten.
