Setup Functions
The setup functions are used to access the KB37’s configuration settings. Most
of these settings are memorized permanently when the unit is switched off.
Those few settings that are not stored between sessions ensure that the unit is
always fully functional after power-on.
To access the setup functions, press and hold the Setup button on the controls
panel. Then press the key on the keyboard which is labelled for the function
you want to access.
A few functions require more than one keypress while Setup is held down. This
is noted in the corresponding description below.
9.1
Clock
9.1.1
Division
This parameter determines the clock divider for the MIDI clock messages
that generate the pulses on the Clock output of the CV interface. Since MIDI
clock is specified with 24ppq (pulse per quarter), the following table gives the
relationship between the divider and musical values:

Default value: 1/16
Note: This setting is stored permanently on shutdown.
9.1.2
Source
This setting determines if the clock for the arpeggiator and the Clock output is
derived from the internal clock generator or externally. When Auto is selected,
the clock is automatically switched from master to slave as soon as an external
clock is detected via MIDI or USB. If the external clock stops, the source is
switched back to master.
Default value: Auto
Note: This setting is not stored permanently on shutdown and reset to the de-
fault value each time the unit is started.
9.1.3
Tap Tempo
This function allows you to set the tempo of the clock generator by tapping. At
least 3 taps are required to set a new tempo. You need to hold down the Setup
button while tapping.
Hint: Since the tapped tempo is overridden when turning the Tempo knob, it’s
advisable to turn the Tempo knob fully up or down before you start the tapping.
By doing this, you’ll prevent accidental tempo changes due to vibration.
Note: Tap Tempo is only enabled when the Clock Source is set to Master.
9.2
MIDI
9.2.1
Send and Receive Channels
This parameter group determines the MIDI send and receive channels for the
keyboard, the CV interface, and the arpeggiator.
Setting one of the parameters requires two consecutive keypresses while
holding the Setup button: the first keypress selects the parameter you want
to change, the second one sets the value for this parameter. The values are
