MIDI STRUCTURE OF THIS KEYBOARD
The XK-1 has only a single keyboard but the sound engine has the three parts:
UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL.
Also this has three “EXTERNAL ZONES” to control the external MIDI equip-
ment.
For these reasons, there are 6 MIDI CHANNELS on this keyboard.
 KEYBOARD CHANNEL
UPPER
This is for sending and controlling the UPPER Part performance informaion, switching the
Combination Presets and sending/receiving Expression.
LOWER
This is for the LOWER Part performance informaiton not only for controlling but switching
data of the Preset for the LOWER Part independently.
PEDAL
This is for sending and receiving the PEDAL Part performance information and controlling.
 EXTERNAL ZONE CHANNEL
EX. ZONE 1, EX. ZONE 2, EX. ZONE 3
You can use your XK-1 as a simple Master Keyboard, by assigning the range of the full scale
keyboard through the channel to control each External MIDI equipment. You can have
different settings for each Combination Preset.
