3.2. CONNECTION/POWER/CONTROL 

ü

 

KS25A/49A/61A gets connected to PC via the USB cable. This connection powers 

the keyboard and is used to transfer the MIDI data to PC. In addition, you can 

connect to other devices such as a sound module to send out MIDI data via MIDI 

output port. 

ü

 

KS25A can also be used when connected to an optional 9V DC power supply. In this 

case the MIDI data will only be sent out via the MIDI output port. 

3.3. ASSIGN CONTROLLERS 

ü

 

Press EDIT button to enter keyboard multi-function mode, the indicator of EDIT is on. 

Press ASSIGN button to enter controller assignment mode, LED shows CHO, 

reminding the user to choose the controller that needs to be assigned. Operate the 

very controller to select it (For example, if you want to assign SLIDER, slide the Slider 

to select), the LED shows the controller number of the selected controller, input the 

desired assignable parameter value with numeric pad, and press ENTER to confirm 

(for example, if Slider is selected, input 147 and the Slider is assigned as Master 

Volume Controller).

Assignable controllers reference: Appendix 1- Assignable controller List

Assignable controller parameters reference: Appendix 2-Assignable Controller 

Parameter List. 

3.4. PEDAL RESISTANCE CURVE 

ü

 

You can adjust the pedal resistance curve to better work with pedals of different 

specifications and resistance values.   

ü

 

Estimate resistance curve value: Value of PA Curve or PB Curve= (128*pedal 

resistance value) / (10K+pedal resistance value). For instance, if the pedal resistance 

value is 10K, the value of PA Curve or PB Curve is: 128*10K/ (10K+10K) =64. 

ü

 

For pedal resistance value, please refer to the technical specifications provided by 

pedal manufacturer. 

ü

 

The resistance curve estimation does not need to be very accurate, or you could 

simply adjust it without calculation, as long as the travel and succession of the pedal 

satisfy your needs.   

ü

 

The initial value of resistance curve is 64, adaptable to most pedals in the market.   

ü

 

When you use switching type pedal, the recommended resistance curve value is 64.   

ü

 

When DATA +/- is assigned as PA CURVE or PB CURVE, DATA +/- can be used to 

adjust resistance curve values. Press two buttons of DATA +/- at the same time to set
