K-M IX H ARDWARE714.2.19.4 – H EADPHONE O UTPUT A S A D ISCRETE O UTPUT B USIt is possible to set the headphone output to act as its own discrete output, effectively adding anothertwo outputs to K-Mix (the headphone output is stereo). It should be noted that these outputs can onlybe addressed by a connected computer; it is not possible to route any of the input channels to theseextra output channels.To set up the headphone output to act as a discrete output bus, do the following:1. Enter Phones Mode by pressing the [ ] button.2. Press the master channel select button; its LED will turn green. The headphone output is nowacting as a discrete output bus, outputs 9–10.4.2.19.5 – E XITING P HONES M ODESince the [MAIN], [AUX1], [AUX2], and [AUX3] mode buttons are used to select the output bus pairs asheadphone monitoring points, they cannot be used to exit Phones Mode.• To exit Phones Mode, simply tap the [ ] button; you will be returned to whatever mode you were inbefore entering Phones Mode.• Alternatively, you can press the [COMP], [GATE], [EQ], [PAN], [VERB], or [TRIM] mode buttons todirectly to their respective mode.4.3 – MIDI & K-M IXIn addition to functioning as both a mixer and audio interface, K-Mix speaks MIDI. K-Mix allows for bi-directional MIDI communication with USB host devices (computer, tablet), and with external MIDI hardware(via the optional KMI MIDI Expander). K-Mix is fully capable of both outputting MIDI to control other devices/software, and receiving MIDI for control of its own parameters.This section details what you need to know for successful MIDI communication with K-Mix.4.3.1 – MIDI P ORTSWhen a K-Mix is connected to a computer, three virtual MIDI “ports” (or “busses”) are created — Port 1:K-Mix Audio Control, Port 2: K-Mix Expander, and Port 3: K-Mix Control Surface. They are the “portal” tocommunicating with the connected K-Mix via MIDI; they allow for bi-directional MIDI communicationbetween the computer and the K-Mix (and MIDI Expander if one is connected), and should appear in anyMIDI-capable application.Understanding what each port is for and how they work is crucial for mastering MIDI communication withK-Mix.The functionality of each port will be discussed in the following sections; here is a quick summary of whatthey are for:• K-Mix Audio Control = MIDI control of Mix bank and audio functions• K-Mix Expander = MIDI Expander In/Out• K-Mix Control Surface = MIDI banks In/Out |
