The Global Menu

This menu is used to change various settings which remain constant
regardless of which Program or Performance is currently selected. The
Global Menu is selected by pressing the keypad ‘

0

’ button the MENUS

button is selected. Use the PERF / PROG / PAGE up/down buttons to
scroll through the Menu functions available - See table below. 

Memory Protect (Menu Page 1)

This is a safety switch, used to prevent accidental erasure of memories
and loss of data. When set to 

ON

, writing Programs, Performances or

Global data into memory will be prevented, and a brief warning message
will be shown on the display.

It is recommended that Memory Protect is left 

ON 

unless Programs /

Performances are being edited for storing into memory, or a System
Exclusive dump from a sequencer is to be received.

Permanently saving any changes made to Global settings

Any changes made to the Global settings will remain valid only while the
power is on. To permanently save any new settings, the Global Memory
must be saved. To do this, press the WRITE button at any time that the
Global Menu is active. A message 

SAVING GLOBALS

will be appear for

a short period on the display. Once saved, even if the power is turned off,
any new settings will be memorised. 

NOTE: After permanently saving the Global settings, the currently select-
ed Program or Performance will be the default Program or Performance
after applying power.

MIDI Global Channel (Menu Page 2)

Specifies the MIDI channel on which the KS 4 / KS 5 will transmit and
accept MIDI messages from a sequencer or other MIDI device while
being used in 

Program Mode

.

In 

Performance Mode

, the Global MIDI channel is also used to transmit

any MIDI messages which are not Part-specific (for example, the TEMPO
setting in the Effects / Arpeggiator / Hypersync section). Each Part trans-
mits and receives using its own MIDI channel as defined in the Part Edit
Menu (see page 55).

Master Tune Cents (Menu Page 3)

Adjusts the master tuning.  At the factory, this value will have been set to

0

. This setting of zero is equivalent to concert pitch tuning (middle C =

440 Hz).

Local Control (Menu Page 4)

This function can be thought of as a switch which when set to 

OFF

, dis-

connects the front panel controls and keyboard from the internal synthe-
sizer sound engine. 

Playing the keyboard or moving any of the  controls still results in the
appropraite MIDI information being transmitted from the MIDI OUT sock-
et, but they will have no direct affect on the sound engine. 

The sound

engine will only be affected if the MIDI signals are routed back into the
MIDI IN socket - probably by a sequencer.

It is recommended that this is set to 

ON

unless the full MIDI implications

are appreciated of turning this 

OFF

. Please see Page 17 in the 

MIDI and

Sequencers

chapter the 

MIDI Tutorial

section of this manual for more

details.

MIDI Clock Source (Menu Page 5)

A master timing clock is required in order to determine the tempo (rate) of
the arpeggiator and to provide a time base for synchronization to other
musical timings. This clock may be derived internally or received from an
external device that is able to send a master timing clock (This is often
known as a MIDI clock).

This setting determines whether the tempo synchronised features
(Arpeggiator, Chorus Sync, EQ Sync, Delay Sync & Panning Sync) will
follow the tempo of an external sequencer (external clock) or follow the
tempo set by the TEMPO knob found in the Effects / Arp / Hypersync
section (external clock).

When set to 

EXT

, external clock synchronisation is being used and the

temp will be calculated from MIDI Clock messages received from a
sequencer. Make sure sure the external sequencer is set to transmit MIDI
Clock. Consult the sequencer manual for details.

Note : Most sequencers do not transmit MIDI Clock while they are
stopped. Synchronization to MIDI Clock will only be possible while the
sequencer is actually recording or playing.

When set to 

INT

, an internal clock is used for synchronisation purposes.

The tempo of the internal clock is controlled by the TEMPO knob found in
the Effects / Arp / Hypersync section.

MIDI Clock Input Status (Menu Page 6)

Sometimes it is desirable to monitor whether a sequencer is actually
transmitting MIDI Clock information. This is especially useful for trou-
bleshooting if 

MIDI Clock Source

is set to 

EXT

.

To see if an external  device is sending a MIDI clock, select this Menu
Page.  If an external clock is being received, the display will indicate the
tempo of the external clock. If not 

- -

will be displayed. If 

ON

is dis-

played, synchronisation to the internal clock is being used.

Global Sync Mode (Menu Page 7)

If 

MIDI Clock Source

is set to 

EXT 

(external clock), a clock synchroniza-

tion type may be selected using this function This allows the 

first note

played after all notes have been released 

or 

the first note played after a

MIDI Program Change or MIDI Start Song Message

to synchronize the

Panning, EQ Filter and Chorus LFOs  as described on pages 43, 45, and
46. This allows them to have their start position locked in time with the
musical piece for stunning effects.

Velocity Curve (Menu Page 8)

The response to MIDI velocity information from an external device such
as a MIDI controller keyboard or a sequencer may be set using this func-
tion. 

A setting of 

SOFT

indicates that smaller changes in velocity (a lighter

playing style)  will create a large change in response to velocity, be it vol-
ume or any other modulation destination that velocity is routed to.  

A setting of  

HARD

indicates that higher changes in velocity - a much

harder playing style, will create large changes in response to velocity.

Function Display Time (Menu Page 9)

In Normal operation, whenever a Menu is selected, the display will show
the current page within the currently selected menu. If a knob is moved
on the front panel, the display will momentarily switch to show the moved
knob’s  value. After a while, the display reverts to showing the menu
page previously displayed. 

Use this function to adjust the amount of time these temporary messages
are displayed on the screen before reverting back to the previous display.
Short values give a very brief display period. Longer values increase the
display time. A setting of 

will inhibit the temporary messages being dis-

played altogether.
