●[10] USER SET
Press the USER SET selector [10] (the corre-
sponding indicator lights), to select a set of
MIDI control changes (CC), which is called USER
SET.
Unlike the factory set, the USER SET assign-
ments can be changed. The original assign-
ments are as follows:
Note: These messages are sent on MIDI channel “1”.
Your own assignments can use different MIDI channels.
• Programming the User Set
(1) Connect an external keyboard’s (or the
sequencer’s) MIDI OUT socket to the PK-5A’s
MIDI IN socket.
(2) On the PK-5A, select the MIDI CONTROLLER
[8] mode.
(3) Press and hold the USER SET selector [10] for
at least two seconds (until its indicator starts
flashing).
(4) While the USER SET indicator is flashing,
transmit the desired MIDI message on the
MIDI channel the pedal you wish to assign
should use.
Example: to assign the expression message
(CC11) of MIDI channel 4 to a pedal, select MIDI
channel “4” on the external instrument and
then transmit a CC11 message with the desired
value (e.g. “80”). (It would be a good idea to use
a sequencer for this assignment.)
Note: Be sure to send only one (constant) value to the
PK-5A, or ensure that the last value you transmit is the
one you wish to use, to avoid that an incorrect value is
memorized.
(5) On the PK-5A, press the pedal you wish to
assign the received message to.
Example: to assign the “CC11= 80” message for
channel “4” to the leftmost pedal, press [0]. All
indicators briefly light to confirm your selec-
tion.
(6) Repeat steps (3)~(5) to assign different mes-
sages to the remaining pedals.
