K4.DK
Loading in the file Kawai_K4.DK will set up Band-in-a-Box for the Kawai K4
synthesizer,and the K4r Synth Module. The K4/K4r sounds work well with Band-
in-a-Box. It will set up :
1. Drum #'s for Kawai synths.
2. Patch Map (assigned to factory settings of Kawai K4/K4r).
3. Startup Patches and Channels in Midi window.
The first thing for you to do is to setup the Kawai K4/K4r in Multi-Timbral
mode to receive multiple instruments at once. In "Single" mode, the K4
will only play 1 instrument at a time. In "Multi" mode it will play
up to 8 instruments + drums at once- so you want to be in "Multi" mode
and have a setup made with 7 instruments/midi channels. To ensure that the
K4/K4r will receive what it is supposed to, select the SYSTEM button.Keep
pressing it until you see MIDI =.With the 'yes'button go to RCV and under
the options,choose SECT.This will enable Band-in-a-Box to send patch changes.
To set up your K4 for MULTI-TIMBRAL SETUP
1. Go to "Multi" Mode by selecting the MULTI button. You will be on patch 1.
2. Now press the EDIT button,then the C-sec-Ch button to select MIDI
channels for the setup.
3. You will then select the Section Select buttons and use the 'yes'
and 'no' buttons to scroll through MIDI channels for each of the 8
parts.(**if not working,hit buttons 9-16 to "unmute" Parts 1-8**).
Each part (1-8) represents a different instrument (except Drums).
To setup instruments you will use the A-inst button.
Setup your Multi patch as follows:
Bass Piano Guit Horns Strings Melody Thru Drums
Section Select - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
MIDI channel - 2 3 7 8 6 4 5 -
Instrument - D9 C2 A6 C13 A3 A6 A6 -
Section 8 is left blank because the Drums are set to channel 10 and
act as a seperate section. Some drum instruments may be too loud/soft. To
correct this you would select the DRUM button and keep pressing it until you
see a note number on the upper right portion of the diplay (eg C1).Press the
drum notes on the K4 keyboard that you want to adjust and then press DRUM
until Level S1 appears.Using the Value slider or the 'yes'/'no' buttons,
adjust the level of S1 and S2(next page) accordingly.To save this ,select
the Write button and follow the instructions from within that window. The
same procedure will be done to save your MULTI patch with the only
difference being that you'll have to be in MULTI mode before choosing WRITE.
Have Fun!
