Back Panel; Midi - In, Thru, Out - Kurzweil X-Pro Series Getting Started Manual

Operation Overview

Back Panel

Foot Switch Pedals And SW Pedal input
The X-Pro comes with three piano pedals, unlike the PC3, which has three Switch Pedal inputs,
and which needs a separate pedal for each input. Whenever the PC3 Musician's Guide mentions a
pedal connected to one of the three Switch Pedal inputs, these pedals correspond to the three
included piano pedals. The X-Pro's rightmost pedal corresponds to footswitch 1, the middle is
footswitch 2, and the leftmost is footswitch 3.
MIDI Connections
The X-Pro's middle MIDI connector is for MIDI Thru only. Aside from this difference, the X-
Pro's MIDI ports function the same as with the PC3.
Breath And Ribbon Controller Inputs
Unlike the PC3, the X-Pro does not include inputs for Breath or Ribbon controllers. Disregard
any reference to these controllers.
Internal Speakers
Unlike the PC3, the X-Pro has internal speakers. The PC3 Musician's Guide will usually make
reference to monitoring the instrument via speakers connected to the Balanced Analog Outputs
Left and Right. In most cases, following instructions from the PC3 Musician's Guide while
monitoring the X-Pro from the internal speakers will provide the same result. Plugging in
headphones (or a stereo jack) into one of the headphone connectors under the keyboard is the
only way to mute the speakers in the X-Pro.
Back Panel
The X-Pro features a number of connectors that let it work with external controllers and audio
systems. For upright units, these are on the rear panel. For grand units, these are underneath in
the left rear corner where the power cord connects. Here is a brief description of their usage.
Additional technical details may be found in the PC3 Musician's Guide.

MIDI - In, Thru, Out

You may connect your X-Pro directly to another digital piano, synthesizer, or portable keyboard
equipped with standard MIDI connectors. You may also connect to a computer equipped with
MIDI connectors or a MIDI interface.
