Synchronizing with
Connected MIDI Devices
You can have connected MIDI devices played by the tempo
produced by the KF-7; you can also have the tempo
produced by connected MIDI devices play the KF-7. This
setting is called the “MIDI Sync.”
Having connected MIDI devices work at the same tempo, and
start and stop at the same timing is called “synchronization.”
1. Switch to the Basic screen, or press the One Touch
Program [Piano] button.
2. Touch <Functions>.
3. Touch <MIDI Sync>.
The following screen is appeared.

4. Touch to make the setting.
* Unless the above is set to either “Int” or “Auto,” the KF-7’s
buttons cannot be used to adjust the KF-7’s tempo. Ordinarily,
you should set this to “Int.”
Touch <Exit> to go back to the Function screen.
