Getting Started
Start Up Details: The Rear Panel
The MIDI (IN and OUT) Ports
Use the MIDI ports to communicate with other MIDI modules and controllers. e OUT
port is the MIDI transmitting port, and the IN port is the MIDI receiving port.
The Pedal Jacks
Use the three pedal jacks to connect controller pedals to Artis SE.
The SW1 (Sustain) and SW2 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., “on / o”) parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, and Mute
Zone.
It is possible to connect up to 2 dual switch pedals having a single stereo plug (Kurzweil
KFP-2S available separately) into the SW1 and SW2 jacks, (see Connecting a Dual Switch
Pedal on page 2-8) or up to 2 half damper pedals having stereo jacks.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW
inputs. Due to the exible switch pedal support, CC pedals
may not operate as expected in these inputs.
The CC Jack
Use the CC pedal jack to connect a continuous control (or CC) pedal. A CC pedal is a
physical controller typically used to control multi-state (i.e., “continuous”) parameters such
as volume or wah.
NOTE : Only CC pedals should be connected to the CC pedal
input.
2-4
For more information on connecting pedals, see page 2-6.
The Headphones Jack
Use the HEADPHONES jack located on the rear/left of the instrument, behind the Pitch
and Modulation wheels, to listen to the Artis SE on stereo headphones. When headphones
are plugged in, sound still comes through the Left and Right audio jacks. You will need
a 1/4-inch-to-1/8-inch adapter in order to use headphones that have a smaller mini plug
connector.
The Audio In Jack
A ⅛” sized stereo audio jack labelled AUDIO IN on the back panel of the Artis SE allows
you to play an MP3 player or other audio source through the Artis SE. ere is no input
volume control for this on the Artis SE itself, so you should control the mix volume of the
Audio Input from the external audio player itself.
Connecting the Power Adapter
Getting Started
Connecting the Power Adapter
e Artis SE runs on standard AC power using a DC power adapter. With the rear panel
power switch in the O position, connect the DC power adapter to the Artis SE. A power
cord is included to connect the adapter to an AC outlet. Before plugging the cable into the
AC outlet, check that the power is compatible with the Artis SE (with voltages from 90 - 260
volts at 50–60 Hz).
Connecting to Your Audio System
The Audio Out Jacks (Right and Left/Mono)
With the the level on your sound system turned down, connect the Artis SE analog audio
outputs to your sound system using a pair of balanced (TRS or “stereo”) or unbalanced
(TS or “mono”) audio cables. Unbalanced cables will always work, but if you’re going into
balanced inputs, use balanced cables for a better signal-to-noise ratio and a bit more volume.
e Artis SE analog outputs are balanced.
You’ll nd two 1/4-inch balanced audio output jacks on the rear panel. Connect one end of
each audio cable to your mixing board or PA system inputs, and connect the other end to the
jacks marked Left (Mono) and Right on the rear panel of the Artis SE. If you have only one
input available, use the Artis SE’s Left (Mono) output to get the full signal in mono.

Connecting Pedals
Plug your switch, dual switch, half-damper or continuous control pedals into the
corresponding jacks on Artis SE rear panel. We recommend using the Kurzweil pedals
described in Pedals (Optional) on page 1-2. However you can use almost any switch or
continuous control pedal that adheres to the following specications.
Switch Pedals
Getting Started
Connecting Pedals
1/4 inch tip-sleeve (mono) plug or, 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve plug
congured as dual switches (TS and RS) or 2 terminal continuous
pedal (half-damper).
Continuous Control
(CC) Pedals
10 kΩ linear-taper potentiometer, 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve (stereo)
plug with the wiper connected to the tip.
Pedals are all independently assignable within each Zone of every Multi.
Here are the default control settings for the three pedals used by Artis SE:
SW 1 Pedal Sustain (MIDI 64)
SW 2 Pedal Sostenuto (MIDI 66)
CC Pedal Expression (MIDI 11)
NOTE : Ensure that pedals are plugged in before powering up the
Artis SE and do not step on the switch pedals when powering up, as
the pedal type and state of the pedal is detected as part of the power
up sequence.
Connecting a Single Switch Pedal
When a single switch pedal is plugged into the SW1 Pedal jack on the rear panel, a single
switch pedal will, by default, act like a sustain pedal. When a single switch pedal is plugged
into the SW2 Pedal jack, the single switch pedal will, by default, act like a sostenuto pedal.
is can be changed by editing, as described in Multi Mode on page 7-1.
2-7
Getting Started
Connecting Pedals
If you are not using a Kurzweil switch pedal, make sure it’s connected before you turn on the
Artis SE. is ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function in reverse—o
when it’s down and on when it’s up—if you turn on your Artis SE before plugging in the
pedal). Similarly, don’t press any of your switch pedals while powering up, as the Artis SE
veries each pedal’s orientation during power-up. If you’re pressing a pedal, you might cause
it to work in reverse.
See Switch Pedal Problems on page 12-5 if you are having trouble with your switch pedal.
Connecting a Dual Switch Pedal
You can connect a dual switch pedal with a single stereo plug, such as the Kurzweil KFP-2S,
into the SW1 Pedal and SW2 Pedal jacks. Both SW1 and SW2 can support a dual pedal each
allowing up to 4 pedals to be utilized by the Artis SE. ese are enumerated as SW1a, SW1b,
SW2a and SW2b. e Artis SE will recognize dual pedals that are wired as TS and RS, such
as the KFP-2S.
2-8
Getting Started
Connecting Pedals
If you’re not familiar with traditional piano technique, the sostenuto (center) pedal on a
grand piano allows one to hold chords in the bass while continuing to play the melody
without the latter notes sustaining. Any keys that are down when you depress the pedal will
sustain when you let go of the keys, but new notes played afterward will not be sustained.
Releasing the pedal puts things back to normal. Of course it can be programmed to do other
functions as well.
e defaults assignment for the Switch Pedals is summarized in the table below.
Pedal Single Switch Default Dual Switch Default
SW1a
Sustain (MIDI CC#64)
SW1b Sostenuto (MIDI CC#66)
SW2a
Sostenuto (MIDI CC#66)
SW2b Soft (MIDI CC#67)
Connecting a Half Damper Pedal
Half Damper pedals where the wiper is connected to the tip (such as the KORG DS-1H™)
can be connected to the SW1 and SW2 inputs on the rear panel. Some pedals have the wiper
connected to the ring, and these pedals will require an adapter to work with the Artis SE.
Half damper pedals can be used to control external software and sound modules via MIDI,
enabling ner control of sustain than a standard switch pedal.
Sustain (MIDI CC#64)
Sostenuto (MIDI CC#66)

Connecting MIDI
Connecting a Continuous Control Pedal
A continuous control pedal can be very useful for controlling volume, wah, or other eects
by foot.
e Kurzweil CC-1 continuous control pedal will work best with the Artis SE, but it is also
possible to use third-party continuous control pedals designed for synthesizers.
See Continuous Control and Half-Damper Pedal Problems on page 12-5 if you are having
trouble with your continuous control pedal.
NOTE : Using a third-party continuous control pedal / volume pedal
may or may not be satisfactory depending on how it is constructed.

Connecting MIDI
In addition to being a performance-suited musical instrument, the Artis SE is a powerful, but
easy to use MIDI controller. For descriptions of how to customize the Artis SE as a MIDI
controller, and how to use its MIDI controller capabilities to their fullest potential, see Multi
Mode on page 7-1.
Basic MIDI Hookup
To use the Artis SE as a MIDI controller for another sound module, use a MIDI cable to
connect the MIDI port marked “Out” to the MIDI input port of the module that you want
to control.
Getting Started
Connecting MIDI
To control the Artis SE using another MIDI controller, use a MIDI cable to connect the
MIDI port marked “In” to the MIDI output port of the controller that you will be using.
Connecting More Sound Modules
In order to connect multiple sound modules to be controlled by a single MIDI controller,
the Artis SE must either be :
(1) Used as the controller.
(2) Or the last module in the MIDI daisy chain.
e reason is because the Artis SE does not include a ru MIDI port; however, this simply
means that the Artis SE must be at the start or at the end of the MIDI daisy chain.
Using the Artis SE as the controller, connect the MIDI Out port to the MIDI In port of
the rst module, and then connect that module’s MIDI ru port to the input of the next
module, and so on, until the last module is connected.
e MIDI chain should end in the MIDI In port of the last module.

Connecting to a Computer Sequencer
To connect the Artis SE to a computer/tablet, simply connect Artis SE using the provided or
compatible cable.
If you wish to use your own cable, make sure that it is a Type-A-to-Type-B USB cable (the
USB computer port of the Artis SE being Type B). By default, the Artis SE will act as a
MIDI controller (rather than a hard drive) when connected to a computer.
Selecting Programs and Multis
e Artis SE supports two types of sounds. e rst type is a Program, and these are
normally a single instrument, such as a piano, or an organ. A Program is similar to a “preset”
or “patch” on other synthesizers. e Artis SE has 256 factory Programs, and the space for a
further 256 user Programs. Both factory and user Programs are arranged into 16 categories
of 16 sounds each.
e other type of sound is the more complex Multi. A Multi is a combination of Programs
arranged as layers and splits across the keyboard. ey are similar to setups, from the
Kurzweil PC series, SP series and K2 series, and are similar to Combis or Multis from other
synthesizers. e Artis SE has 128 factory Multis and space for a further 256 user Multis.
Similar to Programs, user Multis are arranged into 16 categories of 8 sounds each.
e Artis SE has been designed so that it is quick and easy to select Programs and Multis
from the front panel.
Getting Started
Selecting Programs and Multis
Use the following guide to audition the factory sounds on the Artis SE. Program and Multi
selection are covered in more detail later in the manual.
e Artis SE always starts in Multi Mode. If you wish to play a Program, simply press the
Program Button. e Program Button will light up to show that Progam Mode is selected.
To return to Multi Mode, from a dierent mode, simply press the Multi button. If the User
button is illuminated, then you are in the User Bank. Press the User Button to return to
the Factory Bank, and the LED will go out. In the Factory Bank, press one of the Category
Buttons to change Category, and that Category Button will light up. Once you are in your
desired Category, press one of the Program/Multi buttons to select the Program/Multi you
want.
To select another Program or Multi within the same Category, just press a Program/Multi
Button, or use the Alpha Wheel, or + and - Buttons.
To select a Program or Multi in another Category but not in the other Bank (Factory/User),
press the desired Category Button, followed by the desired Program/Multi Button. e
Alpha Wheel and + and - Buttons will select the next Category once you get to the end of
the current Category. Pressing the Category Button will select the Default Program for that
Category. e Default Category Program can be set by the user for each Category. By default
the Artis SE has the Default Program for each Category set to the rst Program of each
Category. To change the Default Category Program, see page 6-5.
e Sliders, Wheels, Pedals and Buttons can control each of the factory Programs and Multis,
to produce variations to the sound. Don’t forget to try these out as you explore the factory
sounds on the Artis SE.

Pitch Wheel
e Pitch Wheel is the left most of the two wheels. It is spring-loaded, such that its center
position is restored when it is not being used. at is because the Pitch Wheel is used for
pitch-bending notes—its “o” position is in the center. Pushing the Pitch Wheel up bends
the pitches of all notes up. Pulling the Pitch Wheel down bends the pitches of all notes
down.
For some Programs the Pitch Wheel will not bend notes that are held by the sustain pedal.
is is how many Guitar and Bass Programs are congured, allowing played notes to be
bent over sustained notes. For User Multis, you can program the bend amount for the Pitch
Wheel using the Bend Range parameters described on page 8-10
Features of the Artis SE
Real Time Controls
Modulation Wheel
e Modulation Wheel is the right most of the two wheels.
Unlike the Pitch Wheel, the Modulation Wheel is not spring
loaded, and can be set to and left in any position between fully
up and fully down. Typically, the Modulation Wheel is assigned
to a parameter that alters some aspect of the sound (e.g., vibrato,
lter depth) when changed.
When a KB3 Program is in use, the Modulation Wheel is
assigned to control distortion.
Programmable Switches (SW1 and SW2)
In Program Mode, the two Switch buttons may be pre-assigned to change the sound in
dierent ways, for example enabling layers or eects.
In Multi Edit Mode, you can assign the Switch buttons to control Program and eects
parameters, or send MIDI CC messages to external equipment.
e SW1 and SW2 button LEDs illuminate red when either switch is active.
