1. Introduction

 

Thank you for purchasing K.ON. 

K.ON is an expandable USB controller keyboard. Equipped with a stable aluminium cabinet, K.ON 
is not only stylish, but perfectly optimized for professional usage live on stage or in any studio 
environment. Various faders and dials as controllers are provided, allowing remote control of 
software and hardware synthesizers. K.ON has a total of 4 expansion slots, compatible with existing 
synthesizer modules from other vendors. 

Please note that this document covers the basics of the K.ON installation as well as the usage of the 
various built-in functions. However, this manual is not intended to explain the basics about MIDI, 
MIDI controller messages, MIDI programs, MIDI channels or anything about typical audio-/MIDI 
sequencing software. If you need to get more information about MIDI (i.e. you don’t know what a 
MIDI controller actually is for example), a good start is usually the manual of your notation or 
sequencing software (i.e. the included Cubase LE 4.0). In addition there are a lot of details about 
MIDI on the Internet. A good technical resource and great starting point is www.midi.org, some 
details are typically also provided in various forums about audio / MIDI and home recording.

2. Hardware Installation 

Before driver installation, please locate your original Windows CD (if you are using Windows), as 
you may need it during installation. Please also make sure to install the chipset drivers for your 
motherboard if you have not done so already. 

Find the USB port on your computer. A sample USB port is pictured below. It is typically located 
next to the PS/2 or serial ports on the back of your computer. 

 

Plug the K.ON USB cable (Series A plug type) into the USB port of your computer. The other end 
of the cable will be connected with K.ON. 

 

K.ON gets the power from the computer via USB cable by default when connected to a computer 
and after you have switched it on. The LEDs of K.ON will be turned on once the unit is powered 
and connected to your PC. 

MIDI connection 

If you are not using the USB connection to your computer, you can also use the MIDI out port with 
a standard MIDI cable. This will be connected to the MIDI input of your MIDI interface or 
soundcard for example. 

3. Software Installation 

After K.ON has been connected to your computer, you can immediately start using it. Under 
Windows, a new MIDI input device called 

USB Audio Device

 will be available in all your MIDI 

compatible applications. Under Mac OS X, a new device called 

K.ON 

will be available. 

This device can be selected as MIDI input source in all MIDI compatible applications. How this is 
done, varies from application to application, so please consult the manual for your audio/MIDI or 
notation software for more details.

PROGRAM 

You can change the MIDI program (instrument) with the 

PROGRAM

 button. After pressing it, the 

LED above the button is on and the numeric display shows the currently selected program. You can 
change it with the selection master knob under the numeric display, by entering numbers via the 
numeric keypad or with the + / - buttons. All 128 standard MIDI voices are available in the range 
from 0 - 127. 

CHANNEL 

Via the 

CHANNEL

 button the MIDI channel (1 - 16) can  be selected. After pressing it, the LED 

above the button is on and the numeric display shows the currently selected channel. You can 
change it with the selection master knob under the numeric display, by entering numbers via the 
numeric keypad or with the +/- buttons. 

TRANSPOSE 

The 

TRANSPOSE 

button allows you to transpose the key range of K.ON in the +/- 12 semitone 

(+/- 1 octave) range. After pressing it, the LED above the button is on and the numeric display 
shows the current value. The default value is 00. You can change it with the selection master knob 
under the numeric display or via the +/- buttons.

DUAL 

K.ON provides a special function to allow you to play two simultaneous instruments / MIDI 
programs. 

Before you press the 

DUAL

 button, select the first MIDI program via 

PROGRAM

 as described 

above. Now press 

DUAL

 and select the second voice. After pressing it, the LED above the button is 

on. You can change the value on the numeric display it with the selection master knob, by entering 
numbers via the numeric keypad or via the +/- buttons. K.ON will then transmit the MIDI 
information on two channels simultaneously. 

By default, the two voice or DUAL mode plays the second instrument on the next MIDI channel 
(i.e. if the current MIDI channel is 1, the second instrument will be played on channel 2). As long as 
DUAL mode is enabled (as indicated by the LED above the button), the 

CHANNEL

 button will 

change the MIDI channel for the second instrument. Please note that the DUAL mode and SPLIT 
mode cannot be used simultaneously. 

To disable DUAL mode, press the 

DUAL

 button again. The LED above the button will be off. 

SPLIT 

K.ON also provides a keyboard split function that allows you to divide K.ON into two different 
split zones with different MIDI instruments - the SPLIT mode. 

First make sure to setup all parameters for the low tone. Then press 

SPLIT

 to start the split function 

- the indicator LED will be turn ed on. Now you can start and edit the parameters for the high tone. 
The default split point is central C (MIDI value 

3C

). 

If you want to change the split point, you need to do this before enabling SPLIT mode (i.e. the LED 
above the button is off). Press and hold the 

SPLIT

 button and then touch the key you want to assign 

as split point. Release the 

SPLIT

 button and press it again to enable SPLIT mode (the LED will be 

turned on) with the new split point. 

If you want to modify the split point, can press SPLIT constantly, then press a key to select the split 
point. After that, release the SPLIT. 

By default, the SPLIT mode plays the second instrument on the next MIDI channel (i.e. if the 
current MIDI channel is 1, the higher instrument will be played on channel 2). As long as SPLIT 
mode is enabled (as indicated by the LED above the button), the 

CHANNEL

 button will change the 

MIDI channel for the higher instrument. Please note that the SPLIT mode and DUAL mode cannot 
be used simultaneously. 

TOUCH 

The 

TOUCH

 button allows you to turn on/ off channel after touch. 

CONFIGURE 

With the 

CONFIGURE

 button, you can assign different MIDI controller functions to the various 

faders & control knobs of K.ON. How this is done is explained in section 4.7.

4.2 Additional Functions 

K.ON has more functions that are typically accessed by 
pressing two buttons at the same time. This section 
explains these. 

RESET 

Pressing 

PROGRAM

 and 

CHANNEL

 buttons at the same 

time sends out a system reset command. K.ON returns to 
its initial settings and sends the system reset information at 
the same time. The numeric display will blink to indicate 
the reset process. 

Note that the device connected must support the reset 
command - or it m ay not respond accordingly. 

LINK 

Via the link function (pressing 

OCTAVE

 and 

CURVE 

simultaneously), the MIDI I/O routing of 

K.ON can be changed. The modes are 0, 1 and 2. Check the following diagrams for a description of 
each of them: 

Mode 0 

 

 
In this mode, the K.ON port needs to be selected as MIDI output device in the corresponding audio 
sequencer software, so that the MIDI port can send out data from the computer. This allows you to 
use K.ON as a USB MIDI interface and you can control other devices from your computer via the 
MIDI output port of K.ON.

K.ON 

MIDI out 

USB out

 

In this mode, the computer receives no signals from K.ON via USB. The signals are sent directly to 
the MIDI output port instead. Also signals sent by the PC are sent directly out to the MIDI output 
port. This allows you to use K.ON and the computer simultaneously to control an external device 
connected to the MIDI output port of K.ON. 

ALL NOTE OFF 

When pressing the buttons 

SPLIT

 and 

TOUCH

 simultaneously, K.ON will send out the all notes 

off MIDI command (controller #123). Use this function when you have problems with hanging 
notes on your system or sound module. 

Please note that not all devices support this MIDI command, so in some cases it might simply not 
work. 

GM ON 

Pressing 

CHANNEL

 and 

TRANSPOSE

 at the same time will send GM initialization information 

(MIDI values 

F0 7E 7F 09 01 F7

). 

XG ON 

Pressing 

CURVE

 and 

DUAL

 buttons at the same time will send XG initialization information 

(MIDI values 

F0 43 10 4C 00 00 7E 00 F7

GS ON 

Pressing 

TOUCH

 and 

CONFIGURE

 buttons at the same time will send XG initialization 

information (MIDI values 

F0 41 10 42 12 40 00 7F 00 41 F7

Please note that the GM/GS/XG initialization functions only have an effect if the connected device 
supports these commands. 

4.3 Pitch and Modulation Wheels 

Rotating the 

PITCH

 wheel during performance can change the pitch of the current performance 

(typically one tone above or below). However, the 

PITCH

 wheel can be reconfigured to send out 

another MIDI controller. Rotating the 

MODULATION

 wheel during performance typically adds a 

tremolo effect to the sound. The 

MODULATION 

wheel can also be reconfigured to send out 

another MIDI controller. This is described in section 4.7.

4.4 Pedal Connectors 

The two pedals are by default defined as sustain (

PEDAL_A 

LED on top and 

SUSTAIN

 connector on backside) and soft / damper (

PEDAL_B 

LED on top and 

DAMPER 

connector on the backside) pedal. They can be reconfigured for other 

functions however. This is described in section 4.7. 

Pedal Polarity 

K.ON can recognize / change the pedal polarity by default. If you want to send ‘Pedal On’ while 
stamping on the pedal and ‘Pedal Off’ while releasing the pedal, no operation needs to be done; If 
you want to send ‘Pedal Off’ while stamping on the pedal and ‘Pedal On’ while releasing, you need 
to stamp on the pedal before the keyboard is switched on, and release the pedal until you can see the 
keyboard is powered on and displays something on the LED display. 

4.5 Controller Knobs & Faders 

Controller Knobs 

 

8 controller knobs can send out MIDI controller values. The controllers are divided into 2 groups. 
When the first indicator LED next to the 

FUNC_A

 button is on, it means the that the first group 

with preset MIDI controllers will be used. When the second indicator is on, it means that the user 
defined 

KNx

 MIDI controllers will be sent out instead. You can switch between the two groups 

with the 

FUNC_A

 button. When adjusting different controller knobs, the LED displays current 

adjusting values, the corresponding indicator is on, also, the value can be adjusted by knobs or +, - 
buttons. Besides, the desired controller knobs can be selected by the 

SELECT

 button, and the 

values can be adjusted by knobs, number buttons, or +, - buttons. 

Faders 

 

 

11


background image

K.ON 

ESI

 

9 faders can send out MIDI controller values. They are divided into 3 groups. When the first 
indicator LED next to the 

FUNC_B

 button is on, the faders are adjusting volume of channel 1 - 8; 

when the second indicator is on, they adjust volume of channel 9 -  16. When the third indicator is 
on, the user defined 

CSx

 MIDI controllers will be sent out instead. These 3 modes can be switched 

by 

FUNC_B

. Like the 8 controller knobs, the faders can be used together with knobs, number 

buttons or +, - buttons after selecting them with the 

SELECT

 button. 

M.VOLUME

 on the lower left 

adjusts the main volume. 

4.6 Transport Controls 

The transport control buttons can be used to remote 
control your sequencing software. 

 

12

Please consult the manual of your audio / MIDI 
sequencing or notation software on how to control 
the transport functions remotely via MIDI. 

The table in section 5.3 shows the MIDI controller 
values K.ON is sending out. Depending on your 
software, there might be a preset that matches these 
values or there might be a learn function that detects the signals from K.ON and allows you to 
assign them to functions of the software. 

To start playback, you push the 

PLAY

 button. The LED above the button indicates the PLAY 

mode. To start recording, you push the 

RECORD

 button. A red LED indicates the RECORD mode. 

Please note that the 

PLAY

 and 

RECORD

 buttons can only be used after pushing 

STOP

 first as 

PLAY and RECORD modes are exclusive, i.e. they cannot be used simultaneously. 

Tempo 

When in PLAY or RECORD mode, K.ON sends out MIDI sync clock information. The 
tempo can be changed with the 

TEMPO

 controller knob (make sure to select the top row 

of controllers via 

FUNC_A

 button first as described in section 4.5. The tempo can be 

changed during playback and software or devices supporting MIDI clock information 
will then automatically synchronize to K.ON. If the tempo value is changed when not in 
PLAY or RECORD mode, it will be used the next time you push 

PLAY

 or 

RECORD

4.7 Controller Assignment 

The 8 controller knobs, 8 faders (the first, 

M.VOLUME

, has a fixed function and cannot be 

reassigned), Pitch & Modulation and the 2 pedal connectors can be used to send out different MIDI 
controllers by reassigning different controller values to them. Typically you need to select the fader 
/ knob, etc. for which you want to change the assignment first and then enter into the edit mode. 
You can select the fader / knob via the 

SELECT

 button. 

Assigning to Controller Knobs 

Select the controller you want to assign via the 

SELECT

 button by pushing it several times and 

browsing through the knobs. Press the 

CONFIGURE

 button and the system enters into edit mode 

for the selected controller. The numeric display now displays the currently assigned MIDI controller 


background image

K.ON 

ESI

 

number. Now you can adjust the MIDI controller value by entering the desired controller number 
via the numeric keypad or with the + / - buttons. 

Assigning to Faders 

Select the fader you want to assign via the 

SELECT

 button by pushing it several times and 

browsing through the knobs. Press the 

CONFIGURE

 button and the system enters into edit mode 

for the selected controller. The numeric display now displays the currently assigned MIDI controller 
number. Now you can adjust the MIDI controller value by entering the desired controller number 
via the numeric keypad or with the + / - buttons. 

Assigning to Pedals 

Enter into edit mode (start via 

CONFIGURE

) first. Then stamp on (or release) the pedal to select 

the pedal. The numeric display now displays the currently assigned MIDI controller number. Now 
you can adjust the MIDI controller value by entering the desired controller number via the numeric 
keypad or with the + / - buttons. 

Assigning to Pitch & Modulation wheels 

Enter into edit mode (start via 

CONFIGURE

) first. Then turn the Pitch or Modulation wheel. The 

numeric display now displays the currently assigned MIDI controller number. Now you can adjust 
the MIDI controller value by entering the desired controller number via the numeric keypad or with 
the + / - buttons. 

Note:

 As Pitch is not defined to be any standard MIDI controller in the 0 - 127 range, K.ON 

defines Pitch as 128. This means that you can always enter numbers from 0 - 128 for the Pitch 
wheel where 128 means Pitch. 

Finishing the Reassignment 

When the controller reassignment is done (i.e. you have entered the number of the required MIDI 
controller), press any function button to confirm the configuration and exit the edit mode. 

Please note that the controller knob and the fader controller should be assigned with MIDI 
controllers with successive variation while the pedals should be assigned with MIDI controllers 
with on / off variation. 

4.8 Save & Load Functions 

K.ON can store up to 10 groups with user parameters. This allows you to make different 
configurations and load depending on the situation. 

Save 

Press the 

 and 

 buttons at the same time to enter into save mode. The 10 groups of us user 

parameters are saved under number 0 - 9. The num eric display shows “S-”, the number can be 
selected by entering it via the numeric keypad. For instance, if you enter 0, the LEDs display “S0”. 
The user parameters will be saved in group 0 then. If you are not entering a number within 2 
seconds, the system returns to the state prior to the saving.
