The MIDI (IN and OUT) Ports
Use the MIDI ports to communicate with other MIDI modules and controllers. The OUT
port is the MIDI transmitting port, and the IN port is the MIDI receiving port.
The Pedal Jacks
Use the three pedal jacks to connect controller pedals to the SP5.
The Pedal 1 (Sustain) and Pedal 2 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., "on / off ") parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, and mute
Zone. Note that switch pedals can be used to control "continuous" parameters as well. It
is possible to connect a dual switch pedal having a single stereo plug (Kurzweil KFP-2S
available separately) into the Pedal 1 and Pedal 2 jacks. You would need a Y adapter to do
this, see Connecting a Dual Switch Pedal on page 2-6.
The CC PEDAL Jack
Use the CC PEDAL jack to connect a continuous control (or CC) pedal. A CC pedal is a
physical controller typically used to control multi-state (i.e., "continuous") parameters such
as filter frequency or LFO amount. Note that CC pedals can be used to control "on / off "
parameters as well.
For more information on connecting pedals, see Connecting Pedals on page 2-5.
The Audio (LEFT/MONO and RIGHT) Jacks
Use the LEFT/MONO and RIGHT audio jacks to connect the SP5 to your audio system.
The Headphones Jack
Use the HEADPHONES jack to listen to the SP5 on stereo headphones. You will need a
1/4-inch-to-1/8-inch adapter in order to use headphones with a mini plug.
