The KR-3500 provides a full range of features which are controllable using MIDI.
These features are explained in the following.
a. MIDI
Settings
for the KR3500
The following range of settings allow you to determine the manner in which the KR-3500 will send out its
performance information when it is being used to play another instrument, or conversely, the manner in
which the KR-3500 is to respond when it is being played by another unit.
© MIDI Channel :
© MIDI Sync Mode :
© MIDI Rx Start/Stop :
© MIDI Local Control :
© Arranger MIDI Out Switch :
These settings determine the MIDI Channel for each Pan, and will
be the channel on which both transmission and reception will take
place.
This setting determines the mode of the clock control of the
KR-3500 (Intemal/Remote/Auto Slave).
When this setting is set to ON, the Composer or Arranger will
start/stop by receiving start/stop messages from an external MID!
device.
This setting determines
whether
the keyboard
control
section
(includes Pitch Bend Wheel) and the sound source (Upper, Lower,
Manual Drums/Manual Sound Effects and Manual Bass Pans) are
connected or not.

output from MIDI OUT.

Ordinarily, when playing with Styles, the keyboard is used to play the instrument's Tones; most often those
assigned to Upper and Lower Parts. Once MIDI is brought into play, however, other Parts can be placed
under the control of an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer. The various Parts are configured as shown
in
the next diagram ("Flow of the MIDI Messages"). By assigning a different MIDI channel to each of the
Parts, they can then be controlled individually, making it easy to manage an ensemble-like performance.
