Assigning Pedals And Controllers - Kurzweil V150 Owner's Manual

Customizing Reverb and Effects
If you change the Main sound, the reverb and effect will switch to those assigned to that sound.
When you select a different category of reverb or effect using the Reverb or Effect button, you'll
hear a typical effect of that type. There are many choices of reverbs and effects within each
category, which you can select with the following procedure.
First, press and hold the Reverb button. The display shows the category and name of the current
reverb. Use the Up/Down buttons to select a different reverb. The reverb category will change
as you scroll through the list.
Press Up and Down together to select the default reverb for whatever sound is currently the
Main sound. The display shows
Press the Right button to view the current wet/dry mix levels. For each active zone, there's a
routing/level value next to the label for that zone. If the routing/level value is
that that zone's sound is not routed through the reverb processor at all. To activate the reverb for
a zone, press the corresponding display button, and the value of
value indicating the amount of reverb—
buttons to change the value. Press the display button again to turn off the reverb routing.
The effects menu works in a similar way, and is activated by pressing and holding the Effects
button. All routing choices and mix levels—for both reverb and effects—can be saved in a Panel
Memory.
Reverb and Effects for KB3 Sounds
KB3 sounds use special effects processing that simulates the vibrato/chorus and rotary speakers
of traditional drawbar organs. These simulations are complicated, and require quite a bit of
processing. Consequently, by default KB3 sounds bypass the reverb (which would require even
more processing). You're not likely to notice this unless you layer or split another sound with the
KB3 sound. Those sounds won't have any reverb either.
If you want to play a KB3 sound with Split or Layer sounds, but you want reverb for those
sounds, you'll need to select a different effect for the KB3 sound. Use the Effects menu to select
an effect that isn't the default KB3 rotary effect.

Assigning Pedals and Controllers

The V150/V110 offers four sliders, three switch pedals, and a variable controller pedal—all of
which can serve a variety of purposes. These controllers, as they are called in the world of MIDI,
send messages to the V150/V110 itself or to other instruments via a MIDI connection. The
assignment of messages to the controllers is programmable and can be set up to support a wide
variety of instrument setups and methods of playing. The following information can be used in
conjunction with the detailed MIDI specifications found on page B-6, and with the sound
controller lists in Appendix C.
Assigning Pedals
There are three switch pedals that correspond to the pedals of a grand piano. By default, these
emulate the standard pedals on a piano: Soft, Sostenuto, and Sustain (from left to right). We call
these pedals switch pedals because they control functions that can be turned on or off. In
addition, the V150/V110 comes with a variable control pedal that emulates the expression pedal
of an organ. This pedal sends a variable-value message, with the low value sent when the heel of
the pedal is down, and the high value when it is up. All of these pedals can be reassigned to
perform other functions specific to the V150/V110 or another MIDI instrument.
