Performance functions and effects

Setting the volume of individual parts or sections

The KR103 provides a number of functions that allow you to set the level of several parts individually so as to obtain an even more satisfactory balance.

Use these functions if you feel that one part is too prominent (or too soft) with respect to the remaining parts.

(1) Press the [Part¥Balance] button.

V-LINK function

V-LINK () is a function that provides for the integration of music and visual material. By using V-LINK-compatible video devices (i.e. an Edirol DV-7PR), visual effects can be easily linked to and made part of the expressive elements of a perfor- mance.

By using the KR103 with an Edirol DV-7PR, you can use the KR103’s keyboard (highest octave) to switch images (clips). Press and hold a key for longer transition (“fade”). Briefly press a key for fast transitions.

The V-Link signals are transmitted via MIDI OUT.

(1)Connect the KR103’s MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of the external video processor (or to a UM-1 interface).

The display now looks more or less as follows.

UpperVol=120

(2)Use the [√][®] buttons to select the part (or section) whose volume you want to change:

UpperVol	Upper part.
LayerVol	Layer part.
LowerVol	Lower part.
ADrumVol	Drum accompaniment of the selected
	Music Style.
AbassVol	Bass line of the selected Music Style.
Accomp	Melodic accompaniment parts of the
	selected Music Style. Though there are six
	such parts, not all of them are used all the
	time.

(3)Use [+][–]to set the desired volume (0~127). Remember that you can hold down [+] or [–](and even [+] while pressing [–], and vice versa) to change the volume more quickly.

(4)Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.

Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 46).
