Arp Destination (Menu Page 7)
For flexibility, the Arpeggiator output may be routed to a number of
destinations. Setting the Arp destination to INT routes the Arpeggiated
notes to the internal sound engine. This could be considered as the
normal mode of operation.
Setting the destination to EXT will route the Arpgeggiated notes ONLY
to the MIDI output socket and they will be transmitted as MIDI note
on/off infomation. The MIDI note information will be present on the
Keyboard Transmit channel. (See page 35 GLOBAL Menu Page 4 to
change this channel number).
Setting the destination to I + E (internal and external) will route
Arpgeggiated notes to both
the MIDI output socket and the internal
sound engine.
NOTE: When the option is set to either EXT or I + E and the MIDI
transmit channel and the Keyboard transmit channel are the same
,
normal note on/off information will be suppressed on the MIDI transmit
channel.
If the MIDI transmit channel and the Keyboard transmit channel are dif-
ferent, then Arpeggiated notes will be present on the Keyboard trans-
mit channel and normal notes played will be present on the MIDI trans-
mit channel.

The diagram above illustrates how the K-Station is connected in a typi-
cal MIDI recording setup. It utilises all the Input and Output features.
This setup allows real-time recording of knob movements into a
Computer Software/Sequencer since both the MIDI output of the exter-
nal keyboard and the MIDI output of the K-Station are connected to the
Computer Software/Sequencer.
The Computer Software/Sequencer MUST have at least 2 MIDI inputs to
allow knob movements to be recorded at the same time as playing the
keyboard. If it does not, then a MIDI merge box must be used to merge
the MIDI information from the keyboard and the K-Station into a single
stream (Consult the manufacturers user guide for the MIDI merge box
for correct connection). If the Master Keyboard is a Workstation (it has a
Synthesizer built in) set it to Local Off or the equivalent in its MIDI setup.
Turn the Computer Software/Sequencers Soft Thru (or sometimes called
Echo Back) to the On or Enabled position.
Select a track in the Computer Software/Sequencer and assign it to the
MIDI receive channel of the K-Station.
Play the keyboard and an audio output from the K-Station should be
heard through the Headphones/Monitors. Tracks on the Computer
Software/Sequencer that are assigned to the MIDI channel(s) of the
workstation should also trigger sounds in the workstation.
K-Station must be set
