send messages on. You can select the MIDI channel number by pressing and holding the MIDI Channel button and
entering the number in the second octave/numeric entry field which corresponds to the channel you desire. Values
run from l-l6
The CMK 149 will transmit on the chosen channel when you let go of the button.
Example: If you want to transmit on MIDI Channel 8. hold down the MIDI Channel button, enter the number 8 on the
numeric entry field and let go of the MIDI Channel button. The CMK 149 keyboard will now transmit on MIDI
Channel8.
Program Change Button -The program change function is used to select which preset sound you want from your

entering the number in the second octave/numeric entry field which corresponds to the preset sound you desire.
When you release the Program Change button, the message will he sent. Values run from 1-128.
The CMK 149 will transmit the program change when you let go of the button.
Example:Ifyou want to play sound No. 56 on the MIDI device, hold down the Program Change button, enter the
number 56 on the numeric entry field and let go of the Program Change button. The CMK 149 will now play with
sound No. 56.
Bank Select Button - The bank select function allows you to change the patch bank of your MIDI module or key-
hoard. Due to different manufacturer approaches to this function, the fonnat for entering this parameter depends on
the model and manufacturer of your MIDI module or keyboard. Please refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart found
in the manual of your MIDI module or keyboard for information on the format that your unit requires.
1) If your module requires a value sent only on control channel 32. you will simply need to press and hold the Bank
Select button, and enter the hank number desired in the second octave/numeric entry field. When you release the
Bank Select button, the message will be sent.
2) If your module requires values to he sent on-control channel 32 and control channel 0. you will need to press and
hold the Bank Select button, and first enter the value needed for cc:32 in the second octave/numeric entry field. Then,
while continuing to hold the Bank Select button, press the key labeled "-/H" (indicates that what follows is the "higher
byte") and then enter the value needed for cc;0 in the second octave/numeric entry field. Wlien you release the Bank
Select button, the messages will he sent.
The CMK 149 will transmit the hank change when you let go of the button.
NOTE: Together with the Bank Select command, the CMK 149 also sends the last Program,Change number entered.
This is because not all MIDI devices will switch the bank unless they subsequently receive a Program Change.
Transpose Button - The Transposition function is used to transpose the output of the CMK-149. The transposition
range is +/- 24 semitones. You can select the transposition amount (up or down) by pressing and holding the
Transpose button and entering the number in the second octave/numeric entry field which con'esponds to the tran-
sposition amount you desire. Please note that to enter negative (down) transposition amount you must first enter"-",
which can be found on the "Bb" key (-/H)
When you let go of the button, the CMK-149 will now be transposed by the amount chosen.
If you want to cancel the transposition and return to a value of 0, just press the Transpose button once without ente-
ring any number.
Example:Ifyou want to obtain a transposition of pitch to 7 semitones higher (a 5th). hold down the Transpose but-
ton, enter the number 7 on the numeric entry field and let go of the Transpose button. The CMK 149 will now play 7
semitones higher. (EX: A played 'C' will sound as a 'G').
MEMORY FUNCTIONS.
The CMK-149 can store MIDI settings in 100 memory locations for quick recall.
To store a setting, hold down both the 1) Bank Select and 2) MEMO buttons and enter the memory location number
