- 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!
