Foreword


Parameter Editor Features

Parameter Editor provides a graphical interface for remote control of a CTK-691, WK-3000, or WK-3500 keyboard (Keyword) from a computer over a MIDI connection.

It lets you use your computer mouse and keyboard to perform virtually all of the operations normally performed using the Keyboard controllers and monitor screen.


Parameter Editor Organization

Parameter Editor consists of the six windows described below.
  • Main Window

  • You can use the Main window to configure Keyboard mixer, tone, and effecter settings, and to open and close the other windows.

  • Setup Window

  • This window provides access to some of the functions of the Keyboard's Transpose/Function Mode. It lets you configure basic Keyboard settings, and to save parameters to Keyboard memory.

  • Drawbar Organ Window

  • This window has the same capabilities as the Keyboard's drawbars. You can use it to configure the drawbar harmonic bar, click, and percussion settings, to switch the rotary speaker rotation speed, etc.

  • Synthesizer Window

  • The Synthesizer window lets you configure tone parameters, much as you do in the Keyboard's Synthesizer Mode. Note, however, that you cannot configure drawbar or DSP parameters using the Synthesizer window.

  • Effect Window

  • The Effect window lets you configure System Chorus, System Reverb, and Master Equalizer parameters, just as you do on the Keyboard. Note, however, that you cannot configure DSP settings using the Effect Window.

  • DSP Window

  • The DSP window lets you configure DSP parameters, just as you do when configuring effects on the Keyboard.

For details about each of these windows, see the applicable sections in this manual.


Saving Data

Parameter Editor operations affect Keyboard memory contents. If you want to save parameters set with Parameter Editor on your computer, you first need to save them to the Keyboard's user memory area, and then use Data Manager to transfer the data to your computer for storage. You can use the Parameter Editor Setup window instead of Keyboard operations to save parameters to the Keyboard's user memory area.


Updating Parameter Editor Window Contents

The update operation refreshes Parameter Editor window contents so they correspond to the Keyboard's current setup. After starting up Parameter Editor, first click the Main window [Update] button so all current Keyboard parameters are reflected on the Parameter Editor windows.

After that, any time you use Parameter Editor to select a preset tone or perform other operations, the corresponding setting is updated automatically. However, Parameter Editor will change parameters automatically if you use Keyboard operations to change the tone setting or other parameters on the keyboard, select a registration setup, or use auto play, auto accompaniment, etc. In this case, you need to update Parameter Editor accordingly.


Window Positions

Parameter Editor remembers where its windows are located when you exit it, and positions the windows in the same locations the next time you start it up. If the Main window is outside of a certain range, however, its position is initialized the next time you start up Parameter Editor.

If, for some reason, you loose track of the windows you have open, select [Init location] on the [Window] menu to move all open windows to their initial default locations on the screen.
