OPERATION
Set
up
the
MKS-10
with
a
MiDI
device transmitting
music
information,
then
turn
the
units
on,
and you
are
ready
to
begin
using the
MKS-10.
Set
up
with
all
the
units
turned
off,
as
shown
on
P.
5,
check
if
all
the
connections
are correctly
made,
then
turn
the
units
on.
Here,
the Piano
I
is
automatically selected
(the
button
is
lighted),
and
the
MIDI Channel
Display
'%-
shows
the
channel
number
on which MIDI
message
can be
received.
If
the
external
MIDI
device transmits the
message on
the
same
channel
selected
in
the
MKS-10,
the
MIDI
Message
Indicator
2
flashes
showing
the
MKS-10
is
receiving the
message.
If
the channel
number
of the transmitted
message
differs
from
the
MKS-10's
set
MIDI
channel, the
MKS-10
cannot
receive the
message.
So,
the
MiDI
Message
Indicator
remains
dark
and no sound
is
output.
However,
when
the
MKS-10
is
set to
the
OMNI
mode,
message
sent
on
any channel
number
can be
received,
therefore,
the
indicator
always
flashes
while
the
external
device
is
transmitting
message.
A.
SETTING
MIDI
CHANNEL
NUMBER
The MKS-10's
MIDI Channel
number
(receive
channel)
can be
easily
changed
by
using the
UP
and
DOWN
Buttons which
are
located
below
the
MIDI Channel
Display. Press the
UP
Button
to
increase the
number
and
the
DOWN
Button
to
decrease.
If
you
do
not
know
the
MIDI Channel
number
(transmit
channel)
of
the external device,
try
shifting
the
MIDI
Channel
of the
MKS-10
until
the
MIDI
Message
indicator
flashes.
That
is
the
number
you want.
*The
channel
number you
have
set
is
not erased
from
memory
even
after
the
MKS-1
is
turned
off.
Therefore,
when
powered
on
the next time, the Display
shows
the
channel
number
previously
set.
*
The
MKS-1
0's
memory
retains
the
set
channel
number
about
30
to
50
hours even
if
switched
off.
If
more
time has
been
elapsed before
you
switch
on
the
MKS-1
second
time, the Display
will
show
an
irrelevant
number,
but
this
is
nothing
to
worry
about.
B.
SELECTING A
TONE COLOR
Right
after
power
on, the
Piano
I
is
automatically
sele-
cted,
but you can
select
any
tone
color
by
pressing the
corresponding
Tone
Color Selector Button.
