  • Page 6: Getting Started

    True to the Music GETTING STARTED Before connecting to the KL-8, it is always best to turn your audio system levels down in order to prevent plug-in transients that could damage more sensitive components such as high frequency drivers. The KL-8 is powered with a 4-pin locking power supply to prevent accidental disconnection. There is no power switch on the KL-8, once it is connected to a power source it will be active and ready for use.

  • Page 7: Headphones And Cue Switches

    STEREO INSERT FOR VOLUME PEDALS & EFFECTS The KL-8 is equipped with a stereo insert point that will allow you to control the overall output of the KL-8 using an external volume pedal, bus compressor or effects device. This gives you the ability to control all of your keyboards with a single pedal, or feed them all through a particular stereo effects unit.

  • Page 8: Auxiliary Send And Receive

    AUXILIARY SEND AND RECEIVE The KL-8 is equipped with a stereo AUXILIARY send and return to allow you to share external effects units across all of your connected keyboards. This feature can be used with both mono and stereo effects, as well as with pedals or rackmount equipment.

    You can also use an external JR1-L footswitch to control this feature remotely; when the JR1-L is connected it will disable the USB SELECT switch on the KL-8, but the LEDs on the front panel will still indicate which USB connection is active.

    RECORDING MODE VS. LIVE MODE The KL-8 has two modes, set via the USB ASSIGN switch beside the USB connections on the back of the unit. When this switch is disengaged the KL-8 is set to LIVE mode. This means the USB audio from a connected laptop is treated like any other keyboard input;...

  • Page 11: Midi In And Out

    MIDI IN AND OUT The KL-8 can send and receive MIDI information over USB, allowing you to use a controller to play a soft-synth on your laptop, or record and play back MIDI using a digital audio workstation (DAW) on your computer. The KL-8 doesn’t generate MIDI information on its own, nor can it be controlled via MIDI;...

  • Page 12: Linking Multiple Kl-8 Units

    To link two or more KL-8s, connect a 1/4” TRS cable from the LINK SEND of the first unit to the LINK RECEIVE of the next KL-8. The last KL-8 in the signal chain will act as the master, with all your keyboard signals present at the MAIN and MONITOR outputs.
