Press the "|" to turn the KME61 on or the "O" to turn it off. If it will be off for a long period
of time, unplug the power adapter from the wall. The KME61's memory needs no power or
battery to retain information, so there is no advantage in leaving the power on.
Power Jack
Plug the cord from the included power adapter into this jack. Try to always use the adapter
supplied with the unit. Replacements can be ordered from your Kurzweil dealer.
Audio Jacks
The Left and Right audio jacks are used to connect to your audio system. If you are only
planning to use one cable, please use the Left jack to hear a monaural mix of the left and right
signals.
Phones Jack
Plug your headphones in here. You'll need a "1/4 -inch to-1/8-inch" (or "phone-to-mini")
adapter plug when using headphones that have a mini plug.
Switch Pedal Jack
Use this jack to plug in the Switch pedal. For this pedal to work properly, it must be plugged
in before power is turned on. The Switch Pedal transmits MIDI controller #64 messages to
internal sounds and external MIDI for each active zone.
Control Pedal Jack
You can plug a Control pedal in here. Not all continuous control pedals are made the same;
we recommend the Kurzweil CC-1. Please see chapter 7 for specifications. The Control Pedal
transmits MIDI controller #11 messages to internal sounds and external MIDI for each active
zone.
MIDI Ports
The KME61 both transmits and accepts most standard (and several specialized) MIDI
messages. In other words, it can serve as both a MIDI master and a MIDI slave.
