KEYBOARD (INTERNAL) CHANNELS
Th e internal sounds of the instrument will play on what are called the Keyboard or
Internal Channels .
Th e Keyboard Channels transmit Note On/Note Off and Velocity data from the
Upper, Lower and Pedal Keyboards. Th ese channels will both send (MIDI OUT)
and receive (MIDI IN) data, and are therefore used when recording and playing back
sequences.
NOTE: The Upper Keyboard Channel, in addition to Note On/Note Off and Velocity data, also
is used for transmitting Controller data.
EXTERNAL ZONES
Th e External Zone allow you to use the SK PRO as a MIDI Master Keyboard. Th ese
allow you to play additional sounds from another MIDI instrument such as a Sound
Module. Th
e External Zones transmit but do not receive MIDI data - in other words,
they are MIDI OUT only.
Th
ere are three (3) External Zone Channels which can be assigned to the Upper
Manual, Lower Manual or Pedals. In addition, different configurations can be
Recorded to diff erent Patches - for example, one Patch can have all three External
Zones assigned to the Upper Manual, another Patch can have one External Zone each
for Upper, Lower and Pedals, etc.
EXPANDED KEYBOARDS
When MIDI keyboards are used to expand the LOWER and/or PEDAL Parts, they
will not only play the internal voices of the SK PRO, but also transmit MIDI data to
other MIDI devices via the MIDI OUT port. Th
us, both the Keyboard Channels and
the External Zones will respond from connected MIDI keyboards, as if the Expanded
Keyboards were “built-in” as an integral part of the SK PRO.
Th e SK PRO can transmit and receive MIDI data on Keyboard Channels as well as transmit MIDI data on
External Zones . Th e following illustrations and paragraphs explain this in more detail.
