Local Kbd Chan (Local Keyboard Channel)
e Local Keyboard Channel enables an external MIDI keyboard to function as if it is the
K2700’s keyboard and physical controllers. is allows all Channels/Zones of a Multi to
be played simultaneously from an external MIDI keyboard transmitting on a single MIDI
channel (or a single MIDI channel of a sequencer), with split and layered Zones laid out
across the external MIDI keyboard. To do this, set Local Kbd Chan to the same MIDI
channel that your external MIDI keyboard or sequencer is transmitting.
If you are not using an external MIDI device to play Multis, you can ignore this parameter
and leave it set to None. When Local Keyboard Channel is set to None, an external MIDI
device transmitting on one channel will only play one Channel/Zone of a Multi.
In Program Mode, an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer transmitting on the Local Kbd
Chan will always play the Program on the currently selected Program Mode MIDI channel.
Sysex ID
e SysEx ID parameter determines the ID number for the unit if you are using more than
one device with the same MIDI manufacturer ID number. You can set this parameter to any
number from 0 to 127.
Unless you have multiple K2700 keyboards receiving Sysex messages from a single source,
you will not need to change the Sysex ID from the default setting of 0.
If you do have multiple K2700s receiving Sysex messages from a single source, make sure
each K2700 has a dierent Sysex ID. is will allow you to direct Sysex messages to the
appropriate K2700 by specifying which unit with the Sysex ID byte that’s included with
every Sysex message.
To have the unit respond to Sysex messages regardless of the Sysex ID, set Sysex ID to 127.
Program Change
Use the Program Change parameter to enable or disable sending program change messages
to external MIDI devices when selecting Programs in Program Mode, Multi Edit Mode, or
when selecting a Multi in Multi Mode.
Clock Source
With the Clock Source parameter set to Internal, K2700 plays using its own Tempo. If you
wish to sync the K2700 to the tempo of an external device, use the External setting.
