All changes that you make while editing take effect instantly. Thus, you can play the keyboard while you're editing to hear
the changes as you make them.
The Built-In Programs
The built-in programs are popular playing configurations of conventional instruments, or highlight sound modification
features of the K150X. Program #1, for instance, is a piano. Program #2 combines a piano with a bass: the lowest two
octaves of the keyboard sound like a bass, while the rest of the keyboard remains a piano. You can select and play these and
many other programs, as soon as the K150X is connected to a MIDI controller and an amplifier.
Getting Started
The K150X allows a myriad of connections between itself and other devices through the MIDI interface. We'll describe a
simple setup with the K150X acting as a MIDI receiver from a MIDI controller, which we'll assume to be a piano keyboard-
like device.
To set up the K150X and one MIDI controller, you will need:
110V or 220V AC electrical power
A MIDI controller
A MIDI cable
Headphones with a ¼-inch stereo phone plug (mono or stereo), or a ¼-inch mono phone plug connected to an
amplifier and speaker combination.
Follow this general procedure:
1.
The K150X will operate on either 110V or 220V AC power, and indicates on the rear panel which kind of power it is
currently set up for. Make sure the K150X is set for the voltage in your location before turning it on.
2.
Connect one end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT jack on the MIDI controller.
3.
Connect the other end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI IN jack on the K150X. No other jacks should be used in this
application.
4.
Plug the power cord in between the K150X's AC LINE IN connector and the AC power source.
5.
Turn on the K150X by pressing the power switch on the lower right side of the front panel. This insures that when your
MIDI controller is powered up the K150X will receive any setup information which might be sent by your MIDI
controller. After a few seconds, the display will read
KURZWEIL 150X
for a few seconds, and then read
C1 P1 PIANO
meaning that the K150X is ready to go.
