As you face the rear panel of the K2000R, the power connector is toward the
right hand side. When you have connected the cable at the K2000R end, plug it
into a grounded outlet (three hole). If the power source does not have the
standard three hole outlet, take the time to install a proper grounding
system. This will assure of avoiding problems with audio hum, and will reduce
the risk of a shock hazard.
2.18.5 connecting the Audio Cables
After you have turned down the level on your sound system, you can rig the
K2000R's audio connections. You will find ten 1/4-inch jacks near the top of
the rear panel. For now, connect mono audio cable to each of the jacks marked
MIX Land R. Connect the other end of each cable to your mixing board or PA
system inputs. If you have only one input available, use the K2000R's MIX L
output to get the full signal in mono.
Refer to Chapter 18 of the K2000R Musicians Guide for more detailed
information about the audio configuration.
2.18.6 Connecting MIDI
The simplest MIDI configuration uses a single MIDI cable, from the MIDI Out
port of your MIDI controller to the MIDI In port of the K2000R. There are all
sorts of possible configurations, including additional synths, personal
computers, MIDI effects processors, and MIDI patch bays. Depending on your
system, you may want to use the K2000R's MIDI Thru port to pass MIDI
information from your MIDI controller to the K2000R and on to the next device
in your system. You can also connect MIDI devices to the K2000R's MIDI Out
port, which can send channeled MIDI information from your MIDI controller.
See the discussion of the Local Keyboard Channel parameter in Chapter 10 of
the K2000R Musicians Guide.
NOTE: A quick check of the K2000R and the audio system can be performed
without a MIDI controller connected to the K2000R. Hold down the CANCEL
button on the alphanumeric pad and press any other alphanumeric button. If
all is well, you will hear notes. Refer to Appendix 1 of the K2000R Musicians
Guide for more information about this feature.
2.18.7
Connecting SCSI
When connecting a hard disk or other SCSI device to the K2000R, read the
following information carefully; it is very important.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A single SCSI device may be connected to either SCSI port.
When connecting more than one SCSI device to the K2000R (including an Apple
Macintosh~ computer) the SCSI chain MUST be terminated properly. Refer to
Chapter 13 of the K2000R Musicians Guide, specifically the section labeled
"SCSI Termination" for details. If the SCSI ports are not properly
terminated, data can be lost and/or the K2000R and SCSI devices may be
damaged.
