Outline of the Sequencer

Front panel of a control panel with buttons and display (no readable text or symbols)

A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This istrument's SEQUENCER allows you to record up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like an orchestral score. This istrument's SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16 different parts. However, you don't have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. This istrument's SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing errors.

SEQUENCER features

■ You can change the tempo without changing the pitch

When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the pitch stays the same.

■ Consistent sound

Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back your performance.

■ Edit your recorded performance

Comprehensive editing functions allow you to modify your recorded performance. Data can easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing an especially convenient tool for creating your original tunes.

■ Instant search

A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital action means you can return to the beginning of your performance, or find any measure, instantly.

■ Save your performances on disks

All the data of your recorded performances can be stored on disks. The built-in Disk Drive also allows you to play commercially sold disks on your own Keyboard.

- Features and operation of the built-in Disk Drive are explained in Part VI: Disk Drive (page 111).

Popular features

■ Simplified recording method

EASY RECORD is a feature that allows you to bypass the more complex recording procedures so you can record and play back your performance quickly and easily.

- You can also record an accompaniment from the AUTO PLAY CHORD.

■ Create a one-man ensemble

Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record your performance in up to 16 tracks and create your own orchestra or band.

■ Store individual data to create your song

For repeating patterns or those especially complicated phrases, the STEP RECORD feature is convenient for recording the notes one-by-one.

- This method can be used to store both the chord progression for the automatic accompaniment and the rhythm changes.

Memory capacity

Up to 10 songs can be stored in the SEQUENCER. Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the SEQUENCER songs and tracks is about 40,000. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the display as a percentage (MEMORY= %).

- When "Memory full!" appears on the display, no more data can be stored in the SEQUENCER.

- The recorded contents can be saved on a disk for recall at a later time. (Refer to page 120.)

About the measure count

The measure count on the display corresponds to the time signature of the selected rhythm. However, if rhythm data is stored in the RHYTHM part and that part is played back, the measure count on the display corresponds to the stored rhythm data. (Refer to page 84.)

- If you wish to use a time signature not available in the preset rhythms, use the COMPOSER to create a new time signature. (Refer to page 99.)

(Continued on the next page)

1. Select the data to edit (it changes to a long bar). Edit the data.
2. Use the POS ▲ and ∇ buttons to move the cursor, the SND ∧ and ∨ buttons to change the percussion instrument sound, and the VEL ∧ and ∨ buttons to change the velocity (how hard the keys are played).
3. If the ERS button is pressed, the selected NOTE data is erased.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to continue editing.

Inserting DRUMS data

You can also store DRUMS data on this display.

1. Specify the point where the new note data will be stored.

2. Use the VEL ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify the velocity (how hard the key is played).

3. Press the ENTER button to store the data.
   • Instead of the ENTER button, you can store data (including velocity data) by playing the keyboard. In this case, the instrument is that specified on the display, regardless of which key is played.

4. The note length is fixed. If you wish to change the note length, use the STEP RECORD function to specify a different note length. The NOTE EDIT display can also be used to change the length (LEN). (Refer to page 90.)
5. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to input more DRUMS data.

1. Select STRENGTH. Use the VALUE ∧ and ∨ buttons to select the amount of quantize (%).
2. 100% is a convenient setting. When set to 100%, the performance data is quantized exactly to the level specified for the VALUE ("just"). For example, at 50%, the data is quantized to a point that is half that of the just level. By this setting, you can attain an effect that is very slightly off-beat from the rhythm.
3. Select WINDOW. Use the VALUE ∧ and ∨ buttons to specify the range (%) affected by the quantize setting.
4. With the increment set to 100 for the VALUE, at a + setting, data close to the just point is corrected, and at a - setting, data far from the just point is corrected. For example, if set to -30% the quantize function affects data far from the just point, and if set to +30% the quantize function affects data close to the just point. +100% is usually a convenient setting.
5. The +100% setting and the -100% setting are the same.

Outline of the Composer

Front view of a control panel with buttons and display (no visible text or symbols)

The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns. A pattern is comprised of five parts: DRUMS, BASS and 3 ACCOMP parts. These parts would form the backing of a song.

Rhythm components which can be stored

You can store up to 4 types of patterns (VARIATION 1 to 4) in each MEMORY (A, B, C). You can also create INTRO 1 and 2, FILL IN 1 and 2, and ENDING 1 and 2 patterns for each MEMORY. During MEMORY playback, you can press the INTRO & ENDING 1 or 2 button, or the FILL IN 1 or 2 button to have your original pattern played back.

- The INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING patterns are the same for each variation within a MEMORY.

CUSTOM

Up to 20 original patterns can be stored in the CUSTOM button of the RHYTHM GROUP. You can use them during your performance, just like the preset rhythms.

• Copy is performed one MEMORY at a time.
- Because CUSTOM uses a large portion of the memory, it takes a long time to load from or save to a floppy disk. For this reason, it is not suitable to use in cases where data is saved to or loaded from a floppy disk, for example, performance data for creating SEQUENCER songs. When creating a SEQUENCER performance, use the MEMORY pattern.

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about 10,000. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the recording display as a percentage (%).

• When "Memory full!" appears on the display no more data can be stored in the COMPOSER.
• The total number of notes that can be stored to all the CUSTOM memories (20) is about 70,000.

MEMORY

The memory contents of CUSTOM are retained even if the power to this instrument is turned off. However, because the contents of the MEMORY are erased after about 80 minutes after the power is turned off, you should save the data on floppy disks if you wish to keep it. (Refer to page 120.)

COMPOSER menu

When you press the COMPOSER MENU button to turn it on, the display changes to the following.

Outline of the Disk Drive function

The Disk Drive enables you to store recorded and stored data from this instrument's memories on floppy disks, as well as play commercial recorded disks on this instrument.

Internal memory and Floppy Disk Drive

The storable internal memory of this instrument as well as the backup time are limited. However, the Disk Drive maximizes your control of data management by allowing you to store (SAVE) this instrument's data on floppy disks, and then to recall (LOAD) it at any time.

- For more information about the backup time and performance data, please see page 178.

■ The following data can be saved/loaded:

BACKUP	PERFORMANCE	CURRENT PANEL (The current panel settings)
		PANEL MEMORY*
		SEQUENCER
		COMPOSER* (MEMORY contents)
		SOUND MEMORY*
		MSP (USER memories of the MANUAL SEQUENCE PADS)
		RHYTHM CUSTOM
		USER MIDI SETTINGS (USER memories of the MIDI PRESETS)

• The PERFORMANCE group includes the data used in your performance. The PERFORMANCE group along with the RHYTHM CUSTOM and USER MIDI SETTINGS comprises the BACKUP group.
• When creating or saving song data, it is recommended that you use the performance data in the PERFORMANCE group.
• Instead of using RHYTHM CUSTOM and USER MIDI SETTINGS as frequently loaded and saved data, it is recommended that you save it with other data as Keyboard backup data.

• A * mark indicates that data can be loaded to and from a specific memory (SINGLE LOAD).

• Because RHYTHM CUSTOM uses a lot of memory, the save or load time may be long. In particular, the load procedure takes some time.

• Please use 2HD disks to load/save BACKUP data.

Using commercial song disks

Not only disks recorded on this instrument, but also data from commercial song disks can be read on this instrument.

• This instrument accepts the following file formats:

TECHNICS File format

Standard MIDI File format

■ Loading Technics File format disks

Using Technics file format disks allows you load new SOUND EDIT, rhythm & accompaniments, PANEL MEMORY, MANUAL SEQUENCE PADS and Song data into your KN5000 to expand its potential even further. "Music Disk Collection" is the brand name for Technics software and is written to bring you the maximum benefit from your KN5000.

■ About Standard MIDI Files

"Standard MIDI File" (SMF) is a standardized data format which makes it possible for music data to be exchanged among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of different models can be played back on this instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of data such as NOTE data (keyboard performance data), VELOCITY (how hard the keyboard is played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice number data), etc. Because it does not guarantee 100% faithful reproduction of recorded music which is replete with such data, it may be necessary for you to adjust the settings to your satisfaction.

• Only files with the ".MID" extension can be loaded.
• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded, but not saved.
• This instrument's SEQUENCER data can be saved to a disk in Standard MIDI File (FORMAT 0) and can be used by other equipment.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as electronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

MIDI terminals

(On the rear panel)

IN:

The terminal by which this instrument receives data from other equipment.

OUT:

The terminal that transmits data from this instrument to other equipment.

THRU:

The terminal that transfers data from the IN terminal directly.

• For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI cable.
• Exchange of normal data through these terminals is enabled only when the COMPUTER terminal switch is set to MIDI. (Refer to page 179.)

Connection examples

To generate sound from a connected instrument by playing this instrument

graph TD
    A["This instrument"] --> B["OUT"]
    A --> C["MIDI cable"]
    C --> D["IN"]
    A --> E["Another MIDI instrument"]

To generate sound from this instrument by operating a connected instrument

graph TD
    A["This instrument"] -->|IN| B["MIDI cable"]
    B --> C["Another MIDI instrument"]
    C -->|OUT| D["Out"]

To connect with a MIDI sequencer

    A["OUT"] --> B["This instrument"]
    C["IN"] --> B
    B --> D["MIDI cable"]
    E["OUT"] --> F["MIDI sequencer"]
    G["IN"] --> F

MIDI channels

Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different "basic channels" (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take

place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also makes it possible to link multiple sound generators and to control each by matching specific channels.

graph TD
    A["This instrument"] -->|OUT| B["Another MIDI instrument"]
    A -->|IN| C["Another MIDI instrument"]
    B -->|THRU| D["Channel 1"]
    B -->|MIDI cable| E["Channel 2"]
    E -->|IN| F["Another MIDI instrument"]

The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.

■ NOTE data

This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged, and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard they are played.

NOTE NUMBER: Number specifying which key is played.

NOTE ON: Specifies that a key is played.

NOTE OFF: Specifies that a key is released.

VELOCITY: Specifies how hard a key is struck.

- MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments, with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.

■ PROGRAM CHANGE

This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving instrument also changes.

■ CONTROL CHANGE

These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance performance expression. Each function is distinguished by its control number, and the function which can be changed by the control differs depending on the instrument.

■ EXCLUSIVE data

This is sound data, etc. particular to a specific instrument model. This data can also be transmitted and received by the DUMP function.

- For details, refer to the separate "REFERENCE GUIDE" provided.

GENERAL MIDI

GENERAL MIDI (GM) is the standard which enables MIDI data exchange between different models or equipment of different manufacture. Program change numbers and their corresponding sounds, percussion instrument sounds, note numbers, etc. are data-compatible between equipment using this standard. Song data created on the equipment of one manufacturer can be played back on the equipment of a different manufacturer, as long as both conform to the GENERAL MIDI standard. This instrument conforms to this standard and can be used as a GENERAL MIDI sound generator.

Equipment which conforms to GENERAL MIDI standards is indicated by the following logo.

- GENERAL MIDI can be set to ON or OFF. (Refer to page 173.)

	No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.	The MAIN VOLUME is at the minimum setting. Adjust the volume with the MAIN VOLUME control.The volumes for the selected parts are set to the minimum levels. Use the balance buttons to set the volumes of the relevant parts to appropriate levels. (Refer to page 27.)The part is muted. (Refer to page 27.)The LOCAL CONTROL for a part performed on the keyboard is set to OFF. Set the local control to ON. (Refer to page 167.)
	Only percussive instrument sounds are produced when the keyboard is played.	In the SOUND GROUP section, the DRUM KITS button is on.
	The volume is very low when the keyboard is played.	The volume setting in the SEQUENCER contents is very low. Follow the INITIAL procedure to reset the settings. (Refer to page 177.)
	Some sounds cannot be selected.	When the GENERAL MIDI status is set to on, The sounds which can be selected and operation which can be executed are limited. Turn the GENERAL MIDI status off to return the instrument to its normal operation. (Refer to page 173.)
	The sound you hear is different from the sound you selected.	This sometimes occurs when you play back SEQUENCER or COMPOSER data which was created on a different model, or when MIDI data is received from a connected instrument. Select the desired sounds again.
Rhythm	The rhythm does not start.	The DRUMS volume is set to the minimum level. Use the balance buttons to set the DRUMS volume to an appropriate level.In the RHYTHM GROUP section, a rhythm in CUSTOM with no stored pattern was selected. Select a different rhythm.A SEQUENCER PLAY button is on. When you are not playing back the SEQUENCER performance, turn off the SEQUENCER PLAY button.CLOCK is set to MIDI. Set CLOCK to INTERNAL. (Refer to page 168.)The rhythm does not work when the GENERAL MIDI mode is set to ON. Turn the GENERAL MIDI status OFF to return the instrument to its normal operation. (Refer to page 173.)
AUTO PLAY CHORD	No sound is produced for the automatic accom- paniment.	• In the RHYTHM GROUP section, a rhythm in CUSTOM with no stored pattern was selected. Select a different rhythm.
	No sound is produced for the automatic accom- paniment, or only the sounds of some parts are produced.	• An ACCOMP part does not sound if its corresponding volume is set to the minimum level. Use the respective balance buttons to set the ACCOMP 1, 2 and 3 volumes to appropriate levels.
SEQUENCER	Storage is not possible.	• The remaining memory capacity of the SEQUENCER is 0. Follow the SONG CLEAR or TRACK CLEAR procedure to erase the memory. (Refer to pages 88 , 94.)
	The playback measure indication is different from when the performance was recorded.	• The number of measures corresponds to the time signature of the rhythm selected at the start of recording. To change the rhythm in the middle of the song, record the rhythm change in the RHYTHM part. (Refer to page 84.)
COMPOSER	Storage is not possible.	• The remaining memory capacity of the COMPOSER is 0.
	Setting the time signature and number of measures is not possible.	• The time signature and number of measures cannot be changed for a pattern which is currently recorded in the COMPOSER. If you wish to change the time signature and/or measure data, first follow the procedure to clear the memory. (Refer to page 102.)
	The playback timing of the rhythm pattern is different from the timing with which it was recorded.	• The QUANTIZE function was on when the pattern was recorded and the timing was automatically corrected. Set the quantize level to a smaller note unit or to OFF when recording. (Refer to page 104.)
Disk Drive	The Disk Drive produces a noise during recording or playback.	• This occurs when the Disk Drive is reading a disk. It does not indicate a problem.
	When the procedure to load from a disk is per- formed, the contents of the keyboard memory are erased.	• When performing the load operation from a disk, the keyboard memory changes to that of the data loaded from the disk.
