DATA ENTRY section: this section contains a rotating encoder to enter data. Turn the knob
clockwise to increase the currently selected value. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the
value. Below the encoder, there are two buttons that increase ([INC]) or decrease ([DEC]) the
value of a single unit/digit. They are used to "fine tune" parameters.
Press [SHIFT] in combination with these buttons to select the Performances contained in the
currently active Chain. (for further information, see chap. 6).
9
[SHIFT] button: many buttons on the front panel have also secondary functions, written close
to the button, inside a white field. To recall the secondary function, press [SHIFT], then hold it
while pressing the desired button. (e.g. [VIEW], to activate the stand-by mode).
10
CURSOR section: these buttons move the cursor.
[ ]: move the cursor on the field above
[ ]: move the cursor on the field below
[ ]: move the cursor to the left
[ ]:move the cursor to the right.
11
[TRANSPOSE] button: this button activates (Led on) or deactivates (Led off) transposition for
all Performances. When transposition is active, a "TRANSPOSE =" field will appear on the
PERFORMANCE MODE video page. This field show the transposition value in semitones. To
adjust transposition, press [TRANSPOSE], then hold it while rotating the encoder knob or
pressing the [DEC] and [INC] buttons to decrease/increase transposition by one semitone.
Pressing both at the same time nullifies transposition.
12
KEYPAD section: the buttons in this section can be used to enter text or digits,
depending on the selected field. Under the PERFORMANCE MODE screen, for
example, these buttons allow to select a Performance by entering its number; this field
only allows numbers. Other fields contain text, such as the rename Performance field. In
this case, letters can be entered by using these buttons. Numbers and letters related to
each button are written just below it.
These buttons have special functions:
[1 .,?!]: 1 and special characters.
[±]: symbol.
[0 SPACE]: 0 and space.
[CANC]: erase the character left from the cursor.
[EXIT]: quit the current page, cancel current data entry, or abort a procedure.
[ENTER]: access a video page to enter data, confirm entered data or confirm a
system request.
Some of these buttons have a secondary function, recalled by pressing them together with [SHIFT]. These functions
depend on the context, that is, the current video page and the selected field.
[1 .,?!]: INIT function: initialize the selected item.
[4 GHI]: COPY function, copy and paste the selected item.
[7 PQRS]: LOAD function, load from internal memory or USB pen or Virtual Instrument.
[±]: SAVE function, save to the internal memory, or USB pen, or Virtual Instrument.
[EXIT]: PANIC function, mute all connected sound generation devices; also mutes the expansion board
EX
(in K4 EX / K5 EX models). Useful when, for unknown reasons, these are out of control and generate
unwanted sounds.
[ENTER]: HELP function, show the on-line guide. Press the button to read information on the
currently selected parameter (on the display).
For more information on these functions, see chap. 8.
13
MODE section: these buttons recall the 4 avialable operating modes for K4 / K5:
[INFO]: information mode; allows to check all configuration video pages of a Scene (and therefore
of a Performance). In this mode, data cannot be modified, so as to avoid unwanted changes to
parameters. For further information, see chap. 5.
[EDIT]: edit mode; allows full access to all Scene edit pages (and theferfore of the Performance),
and all parameters can be modified. For further information on this operating mode, see chap. 5.
[CHAIN]: Performance chain mode; allows creation and recalling of Performance chains, different
from the standard sequence (P001 - P128). For further information on this mode, see chap. 6.
