MIDI IN port of the first student keyboard can be connected to the GEC3 MIDI OUT
port to receive program change messages from the Teacher Instrument connected to the
MIDI IN port of the GEC3. Using the MIDI THRU port of the first student keyboard, the
second student keyboard can be included in the MIDI system as well. This can be
repeated to include all student keyboards in the lab. The MIDI OUT port can also be
used to deliver system exclusive "Keyboard Setups" to configure popular keyboards
to take advantage of the GEC3's Split Function.
3. Speaker Cable. If your monitors are not self-powered, you will also require speaker wire
to carry audio signals from the room amplifier (which may be a standard stereo receiver)
to the room speakers. This wire should be of the heaviest gauge practical.
4. Computer Cable. If you are utilizing the GEC3 with a digital audio recording system, a
co-ax S/PDIF cable will be required. If you are utilizing the USB port of the GEC3, you
will need a USB accessory cable.

Sizing Cables

The placement of the equipment in your music laboratory will determine the lengths of
cabling required. In order to select the appropriate lengths of communications cable, measure
the distance from the GEC3 to the floor, floor distance from teacher station to student piano,
floor to S I, and include an additional twelve to twenty-four inches for movement and slack.
Korg offers communications cables in three sizes. The cables, CC-14, CC-25, and CC-33 are
available in fourteen, twenty-five, and thirty-three foot lengths respectively.
If your installation requires longer or shorter communications cables than those available
from Korg U.S.A., your authorized Korg Education Dealer will gladly assist in sourcing and
installing the cabling.
After all the equipment and cabling has arrived, it's time for the actual installation.
