Setting the MIDI Channels

Connecting the Power Supply
Use the included AC adapter to plug the ExpressionMate into an
electrical outlet.
Powering Up
Once you have everything hooked up properly, press the power
switch to turn the ExpressionMate on. The screen will display a
message similar to this one for four seconds:
ExpressionMate
P1=V P2=O C=RBBN
HereÕs what the bottom line means:
• P1 is Pedal 1. It will equal V if a CC Pedal is plugged into the
SP1/CC jack, O if a normally-open switch pedal is plugged
in, or C if a normally closed switch pedal is plugged in. If
nothing is plugged in, V will be displayed.
• P2 is Pedal 2. It will equal O if a normally open switch pedal
is plugged into the SP2 jack, or C if a normally closed
(Roland type) pedal is plugged in. If nothing is plugged in, O
will be displayed.
• C is the controller plugged into the Controller jack on the right
side of the unit. It will always read RBBN, unless Kurzweil
introduces other controller types in the future. If nothing is
plugged in, RBBN will also be displayed.
If you see a different message, such as ÒLow BatteryÓ or
ÒMemory FailureÓ, refer to Chapter 6 for more information.
Setting the MIDI Channels
Every Setup has three Zones that send out MIDI information
when you play the Ribbon or use the Panel Switches and pedals.
In many of the Factory Setups, each Zone is set to a separate
MIDI channel. To take advantage of all three Zones, make sure
that the receiving instrument is in ÒMulti Mode,Ó (which is the
default mode for most modern instruments) and that there are
programs on channels 1 through 3. You can choose any programs
you want of course, but you might have more fun if each channel
plays a different sound.
