ESI

Mode 2

PC

K.ON

MIDI out

USB out

In this mode, the computer receives no signals from K.ON via USB. The signals are sent directly to
the MIDI output port instead. Also signals sent by the PC are sent directly out to the MIDI output
port. This allows you to use K.ON and the computer simultaneously to control an external device
connected to the MIDI output port of K.ON.

ALL NOTE OFF

When pressing the buttons SPLIT and TOUCH simultaneously, K.ON will send out the all notes
off MIDI command (controller #123). Use this function when you have problems with hanging
notes on your system or sound module.

Please note that not all devices support this MIDI command, so in some cases it might simply not
work.

GM ON

Pressing CHANNEL and TRANSPOSE at the same time will send GM initialization information
(MIDI values F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7).

XG ON

Pressing CURVE and DUAL buttons at the same time will send XG initialization information
(MIDI values F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7)

GS ON

Pressing TOUCH and CONFIGURE buttons at the same time will send XG initialization
information (MIDI values F0 41 10 42 12 40 00 7F 00 41 F7)

Please note that the GM/GS/XG initialization functions only have an effect if the connected device
supports these commands.

4.3 Pitch and Modulation Wheels

Rotating the PITCH wheel during performance can change the pitch of the current performance
(typically one tone above or below). However, the PITCH wheel can be reconfigured to send out
another MIDI controller. Rotating the MODULATION wheel during performance typically adds a
tremolo effect to the sound. The MODULATION wheel can also be reconfigured to send out
another MIDI controller. This is described in section 4.7.
