K-Series EasyStart

5.Press SW1 once to select the program Piano 16’ > Try the OCTAVE SHIFT keys, DOWN and UP. They are capable of transposing the sound four octaves in either direction, and their indicators have a color-coded scheme to keep track of transposition changes as follows:

ƒUnlit = Not-transposed

ƒGreen = One octave away

ƒOrange = Two octaves away

ƒRed = Three octaves away

ƒFlashing red = Four octaves away

6.Moving the MOD WHEEL adds LFO intensity (“vibrato”) to the chosen sound. The MOD WHEEL can be assigned to any controller that would benefit from a smooth wide range of values. (MOD WHEEL defaults to transmitting CC#1)

7.Plug in an optional momentary pedal, and it will default to the DAMPER function (CC#64) > DAMPER can be re-assigned to any controller number, function as a MOMENTARY or TOGGLE switch, or transmit separate ON and OFF values.

Working with the K61P

The K61P is unique – a USB MIDI controller that also can play great internal keyboard sounds. This makes it perfect for going from your computer home studio to gigs and rehearsals. Plus, when used with your computer it provides these essential sounds without making any “demands” on your CPU.

1.Press the Bank key to select one of the three banks of eight sounds > Press one of the eight program keys to select a sound.

2.Press the REVERB or CHORUS keys to add effects to the internal sounds. There are three levels of each effect, and the keys are color-coded to indicate the effect depth:

ƒUnlit = Off

ƒGreen = Light effect

ƒOrange = Standard effect

ƒRed = Deep effect

3.To transpose the keyboard, hold down the BANK key until it flashes > Press the PIANO 2 key: it will flash > Play the desired key between C3 and C5 > Press the BANK key to exit >To return the keyboard to C=C, repeat this step and press the note C4.

There are additional settings that can be made to affect the overall functionality of the K61P, such as velocity curve, Local ON/OFF, temperament, etc. Please refer to pages 16-19 in the K-Series Owners Manual. Enjoy your controller, and your free M1Le software!
