Kurzweil K4 Editor User Manual
Universal editor for PC3, PC4, Forte and K2700.
Concept :
- This editor does not keep databases of objects and object names, unlike other editors.
- When an object is selected with e.g. a dial, its name is retrieved from the synth when needed.
- This is not a librarian, only one object of a certain type is kept in the editor.
Startup :
- Instrument settings :
- Upon startup the MIDI setup dialog appears, enter the MIDI in and out interface and hit "Inquire". When an instrument is connected an powered-up, it will be recognised and the main window appears. When no instrument is connected and powered-up, please do so, hit "Rescan MIDI" and "Inquire" again. When no instrument is connected, and you want to run the program offline, hit "Inquire". When no instrument is connected, and you want to quit, close the MIDI dialog and close the program from the menu.
How to use :
- Select an editor, e.g. Program.
- The menu options work on the currently selected editor, e.g. in the Program editor, receive and transmit work on programs.
- For ease of use of the dials, a wheel mouse is recommended.
- For small increments or decrements, the arrow keys can be used.
- For most dials, it is possible to edit the value field and type in a value.
Menu items :
- File menu : Load and Save are not implemented yet.
- Midi menu : Receive Object Nr. : enter the object ID, loads the selected object from the synth into the K4 editor.

Receive Next / Previous Object : receives from the synth the object with the next / previous ID that is currently selected in K4.
