You have discussed Midi in and out and Bill was correct. BUT What about the send and receiving channels. If the send-set for the Kn is not the same number channel as the instrument (the slave/revieving) nothing can happen.
Years back I did a bit of work with midi and it took a lot of learning/work. When you learn how much data can control it is amazing. I used a Yamaha keyboard and three sound modules. When I bought my Kn2000 I used two modules working with volume foot pedals controlling for each one. The modules were set on channels to match the Kn channels. Just as you can set the Tech-chord on a Kn to a third sound by using midi channel five – Right 1, and right 2 and channel 5 for the Tech-chord.
For example the controller was able to activate strings and organ or vocal in the Kn7, the volumes and channel was set and memorized in Panel memory. Two hands working with two sets of 61 keys it sounded great. In fact it was so good I sold everything but the keyboard. My reason; There is much in a Kn keyboard, especially the Kn7, that I have found different ways to make a song sound great with far less work and far more enjoyable.
For me – I accept working with Midi for enjoyment and experimenting, but not when I am working.
If you are using a pedal board triggering a Kn keyboard midi is a must. Set it to one channel and make sure that it is saved in all your panel memories and SD card or a floppy. Organs have always been my favorite so I have added a 88 note controller set to channel FIVE which triggers channel FIVE on the Kn7. A controller can send more than one channel so it possible to trigger two Kn instruments, but the controller must be set to a split mode. Wow, too many words, sorry, John C.
