PROGRAMMABLE FOOTSWITCHES
You can connect additional momentary footswitches, like the Kawai model F-1, to
the Footswitch jacks as well. These can be programmed to do a range of things,
such as change octave or turn the arpeggiator on and off.

MIDI
There is a full set of MIDI ports on the rear panel of the K5000S: IN, OUT, and THRU
jacks. You don't need to connect any of them, but if you want to talk to your other
MIDI gear, here's how to connect them:
EXTERNAL KEYBOARD OR DRUM CONTROLLER
If you want to play the K5000S from another keyboard, MIDI drum or Guitar
controller, connect it to the MIDI IN jack.
You will need to set the K5000S's Unit Channel to match the input jack and the MIDI
channel the device transmits on. Press SYSTEM, then MIDI (F5), then Unit CH (L2).
SEQUENCER OR COMPUTER
If you want to use the K5000S with a sequencer or computer, you will need two
cables. Connect the MIDI OUT of the K5000S to the MIDI IN of the computer, and
the MIDI OUT of the computer to the MIDI IN of the K5000S
You will need to adjust the K5000S's Channels (in System of Multi) to match the se-
quencer. Depending on your configuration, you may also want to turn Local Control
OFF – press SYSTEM, then MIDI (F5), then Local (L1).
ADDITIONAL SOUND MODULES
To use the K5000S to control other sound modules, connect a cable from the
K5000S's MIDI OUT jack to the MIDI IN jack of the other device. If you have more
than one device, you can loop from the MIDI THRU of the first device to the MIDI
IN of the second.
