Restore Factory Settings (Menu Page 2)
When originally shipped from the factory, the K-Station is supplied with
two banks of 100 preset memories. However, it is possible to over-write
these memory locations with new sounds or accidentally erase them.
This utility enables any of the preset memories to be restored back by
reading the data from the K-Station’s non-erasable ROM chip.
The Restore Factory Settings are shown in the table below and may
be selected using the DATA/PROGRAM knob when in Menu Page 2.
Restoring a Single Factory Preset Sound - ONE PROG
When restoring a single Program, the restored Program will be placed
into whatever Program is currently selected by the K-Station. If neces-
sary, select the appropriate destination Program from within Program
Select Mode, then re-enter Menu Mode and return to this Page of the
Utilities Menu.
When the WRITE button is pressed, the K-Station will prompt for the
Program number to be restored from ROM as displayed below.
The ‘from’ location is at the far right of the display and this may be
altered using the DATA/PROGRAM knob. For ease of locating the
desired sound, each factory preset may be auditioned using the key-
board as each new location selected. The Program number to be
restored may also be selected using Numeric Keypad buttons. Note
that it is only possible to select a restored Program from Banks 1 or 2.
(Programs 100 - 299)
Pressing the WRITE button again writes the restored Program into the
destination Program as indicated by the display. The display will flash
‘DONE’ and the K-Station will return to Progam Select Mode
Note : It is only possible to restore Programs if the Global Memory
Protect switch is turned OFF (see Page 35).
Note : It is possible to abandon the restore procedure at any point by
pressing the PROGRAM button.
Restoring a whole Bank of Factory Preset Sounds
When restoring a whole Bank of sounds, the Bank of 100 sounds will
be written to whatever Bank the currently selected Program belongs to.
If necessary, select an appropriate destination Program Bank (any
Program within a Bank will select its Bank) from within Program Select
Mode, then re-enter Menu Mode and return to this Page in the Utilities
Menu.
When the WRITE button is pressed, the K-Station will prompt for the
Bank number to be restored from ROM as displayed below.
Select the Bank to restore to by using the DATA knob. Note that it is
only possible to select Banks 1 or 2 as the restored Banks.
Pressing the WRITE button again restores the whole Bank of 100
Programs into the destination Bank (the Bank used by the currently
selected Program in Program Select Mode). The display will flash
‘DONE’ and the K-Station will return to Progam Select Mode.
Note : It is only possible to restore Programs if the Global Memory
Protect switch is turned OFF (see Page 35).
Note : It is possible to abandon the restore procedure at any point by
pressing the PROGRAM button and returning to Program Select
Mode.
Restoring Global Data
When this option is selected, press the WRITE button to restore all
Global Data. The display will flash ‘DONE’ and the K-Station will return
to Progam Select Mode
Note : It is only possible to restore Global Data if the Global Memory
Protect switch is turned OFF (see Page 35).
Calibrate Wheel (Menu Page 3)
This utility allows the K-Station’s Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels to
be calibrated for optimum performance. To calibrate the wheels, push
the bend wheel (outermost wheel) fully forwards and then fully back-
wards. The left hand side of the display will show a value of BEND 0
when the wheel is fully backwards and BEND 256 when the wheel is
fully forwards. Repeat this forward and backwards movement for the
other (Modulation) wheel. The display will show MOD 0 through to
MOD 128. Finally press the WRITE key once.
A brief message ‘CAL WHEEL SAVED’ will flash on the screen. The K-
station will then return to PROGRAM mode
The wheel calibration data is stored in memory along with all the
Global data, so once this has been done, it will not usually become
necessary to calibrate the wheels again.
Display Contrast (Menu Page 4)
Rotate the DATA/PROGRAM knob to adjust the contrast of the K-
Station’s display until it is easy and comfortable to read.
