Sending Tone Change Messages
(Program Change/Bank Select
MSB/Bank Select LSB)
A Program Change is a message that means “change to the
Tone of the specified number.” The device that receives this
changes to the Tone of the corresponding number.
When you choose a Program Change message (Program
Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the
MIDI device connected to the KR. The MIDI device that
receives the Program Number changes the tone to the
corresponding Program Number.
Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available.
Some MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones.
With such devices, the Tone is selected through a
combination of Program Change messages and Bank Select
messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select message: the
MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) and the LSB
(Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).
* Some MIDI instruments can’t handle Bank Select messages.
Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not recognize the LSB
part.

Output Jacks
You can connect audio equipment using audio cables (sold
separately) and play the sounds from the KR through the
speakers on the connected equipment, or record your
performances on a tape recorder or other recording device.
If the input of the connected device is monaural, you must
use the L (Mono) jack.
Input Jacks
You can connect another sound source, such as audio
equipment or an electronic instrument, using audio cables
(sold separately). Play the sounds from the connected device
through the speakers on the KR.
If the input of the connected device is monaural, you must
use the L (Mono) jack.
* You cannot use the KR to adjust the volume of the connected
sound generating device.

* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume
level of equipment connected to the inputs jacks may be low. If
this happens, use connection cables that do not contain
resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS series.
