Connections
This section takes a brief look at the types of connections that can be achieved using the
rear-panel sockets.
POWER
Mains: Connect the optional power supply plug to the rear-panel 12 V D.C. jack and the
other end to a suitable wall outlet.
Batteries: Insert 8 “torch” batteries (alkaline, 1.5 volt “LR-20”) into the battery com-
partment located under the instrument.
AUX OUT (STEREO)
The rear-panel AUX OUT jack is a stereophonic output for connection of the PK5 Ori-
ental to an amplification system (keyboard amplifier, domestic stereo system, mixing
console, etc.). The signal is delivered processed by the instrument’s internal effects proc-
essor.
For stereo reproduction, use a cable consisting of a stereo jack at one end and two mono
jacks at the other (Left, Right). The type of jack required also depends on the external
amplification equipment. To exclude the instrument’s internal amplification and use the
audio outputs only, insert a jack into the headphones socket. Connecting AUX OUT to
external amplification equipment does not exclude the internal speakers.
MIDI
PK5 Oriental is fitted with a standard MIDI interface consisting of the MIDI IN and
MIDI OUT ports for MIDI connections. Detailed information regarding MIDI applica-
tions are found in the dedicated chapter further ahead.
Below follow brief instructions on the principal MIDI connections possible.
• PK5 Oriental piloting another instrument.
Connect the PK5 Oriental MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the other instrument.
• PK5 Oriental piloted by a master keyboard.
Connect the PK5 Oriental MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT of the master keyboard. To
simulate the PK5 Oriental keyboard on the master keyboard, set the MK to transmit
on the same channel as the PK5 Oriental Common Channel, and set all other chan-
nels to off.
• Recording Songs on a computer or external sequencer.
Connect the PK5 Oriental MIDI IN to the MIDI OUT of the external device, the
PK5 Oriental MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the external device. Set the Upper 1
track for Local Off operation (in EDIT/GENERAL) in order to send PK5 Oriental
keyboard data to its own internal sound engine via the computer/sequencer.

Note: Via MIDI, PK5 Oriental can be used as a normal
multi-timbral expander (16 tracks), piloted by an external
sequencer. Thanks to the PK5 Oriental it will not be

necessary to purchase another expander.
