PILOTING PK7/PK5 WITH A MASTER KEYBOARD
Master keyboards are generally mute instruments (without sound generators) and require external sound sources
to produce sounds. The PK7/PK5 sound generator can operate as an external sound source for a master
keyboard, using PK7/PK5 as a slave device.
The Master keyboard must transmit MIDI messages on the same MIDI channel as the PK7/PK5 Common
channel.
PK7/5 Master keyboard
All Bank Select (CC00) and Program Change (PC) messages normally used to select PK7/PK5 sounds are
interpreted as Performance Change, Style Change, Song Style Change or Song Change messages if transmit-
ted to PK7/PK5 on the Common channel.
Assign the PK7/PK5 Common Channel
To assign the COMMON channel, refer to the paragraph “TRACKS AND MIDI CHANNELS of this chapter.
Selecting Styles via MIDI Common
To select a Style from the master keyboard, send a Bank Select (CC00) and Program Change (PC) message
to PK7/PK5 via the Common channel with the values shown in the following table:

Controlling Styles via MIDI Common
The Style controls can be simulated by sending a Control Change 50 message (CC50) to PK7/PK5 via the
Common Channel with the values shown in the following table.
If the master keyboard has programmable buttons, it is possible to assign them some control messages and
control all directly from the master.
