Connecting/disconnecting the sound generator
and keyboard
❍
LOCAL CONTROL (ON/OFF)
Connects/disconnects the internal link between the VK-
8’s sound generator (organ voice and other tones) and its
keyboard and other controllers.
→
To prevent problems such as failure to sound, the Local
Control setting will automatically be turned on each time the
VK-8 is powered up.
NOTE
When the SUB KEYBOARD FUNCTION is on, the keyboard
device connected to the MIDI KEYBOARD IN connector or
MIDI PEDAL IN connector will be disconnected from the sound
generator if Local Control is turned off.
Adding MIDI THRU functionality to the MIDI
OUT connector
❍
MIDI THRU (ON/OFF)
This is a function by which the data received at the MIDI
IN connector is re-transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector. Data received at the VK-8’s MIDI KEYBOARD
IN connector or MIDI PEDAL IN connector will be
merged, and transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
The MIDI Thru setting will automatically be turned off
each time the VK-8 is powered up.
NOTE
The MIDI THRU function is valid only when SUB KEYBOARD
FUNCTION is off.
NOTE
If the VK-8 receives a large amount of MIDI data or exclusive
data, it may not be able to receive all of the MIDI data correctly.
If this occurs, reduce the amount of MIDI data that is being
transmitted from the external device, or break up the exclusive
data into smaller units.
❍
MIDI SOUND CONTROLLERS SWITCH (ON/OFF)
This specifies whether Harmonic Bar data will be received
using sound controller MIDI messages. Turn the
[VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to the right to turn this
on, or to the left to turn it off. At the factory settings, this is
turned on.
❍
MIDI GENERAL CONTOROLLERS SWITCH (ON/OFF)
This specifies whether Wheel Brake and Other Tone Glide
data will be transmitted and received using MIDI general
purpose controller messages.
Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to the right to
turn this on, or to the left to turn it off. At the factory
settings, this is turned on.
❍
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE SWITCH (ON/OFF)
This specifies whether preset selection data will be
transmitted and received.
Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to the right to
turn this on, or to the left to turn this off. At the factory
settings, this is turned on.
