3-2. Play Using a Sequencer or Computer

With the MULT! mode, the K4/K4r can function as a synthesizer and drum sound source with up to eight parts. This means

that an extremely simple setup such as the K4 (or K4r) and a Q-80 or other MIDI sequencer (or computer) can produce an

extensive range of sounds.

Let's use the procedure shown below to actually connect a MIDI sequencer for performance.

@ MIDI Sequencer Connection

In this example, a Kawai Q-80 is used as the sequencer. Connect it to the K4/K4r as

shown in the illustration.

@ Setting the SYSTEM LOCAL ON/OFF

Since the K4 itself can be used as a control keyboard or sound source, selecting a

LOCAL ON/OFF Setting is necessary. The LOCAL Setting should be set to OFF (no

sound output from the keyboard) when MULTI Performances on a sequencer or

computer are being played with the K4. (Does not affect K4r.)

Press

several times until "SYSTEM LOCAL" is displayed. Turn off LOCAL

using G+ves and (-no_). (See P. 77)

* This separates the keyboard and sound generator of the K4 so that no sound will

be output unless the MIDI Transmit and Receive Channels are matched (except

when set at OMNI ON). (See P. 79)
