10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with apparatus. When a cart is used, use cau-
tion when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is re-
quired when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or ob-
jects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been ex-
posed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
15) Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure
that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the
apparatus.
16) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Chapter 1
Using the RSP8
The RSP8 is a remote control for Kurzweil’s KSP8 multi-bus
signal processor that provides you convenient access to all of the
KSP8’s front panel functions. The RSP8 also gives you eight
knobs for adjusting effect and other parameters, along with a
joystick for surround panning. You can also configure the knobs
and/or joystick to send MIDI controller values, to either a KSP8
or an external device.
HUB7
Chapter 2 of this manual describes the HUB7 repeater/
concentrator, which lets you use a single RSP8 to control up to
seven KSP8s, and also allows you to extend cable distances
between the RSP8 and KSP8(s).

Using the RSP8

KSP8 Software
To make use of the RSP8, you need operating system software
version 1.5 or higher running on your KSP8. If the version level of
your KSP8 software (as shown on the KSP8 startup screen) is
lower than 1.5, and you have not been provided with a software
update, contact your Kurzweil dealer, or check for the latest
updates by logging on to our web site:
http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com
For Other KSP8 Questions
This manual describes only KSP8 features that pertain to the
RSP8 and HUB7. For information on all other KSP8 functions,
refer to the
KSP8 User’s Guide
.

Setting Up Your RSP8

Setting Up Your RSP8
The RSP8 lets you access up to seven KSP8s from any location
that’s convenient for you. You can either:
•
set the RSP8 on top of a table or mixing desk (the bottom of
the RSP8 is covered with a soft material that will not scratch
surfaces).
•
attach the supplied microphone stand adapter to the bottom
of the RSP8, then thread the adapter onto the top of a
standard microphone stand, as shown in Figure 1-1. You’ll
probably find this works best if you attach the adapter to the
bottom of the RSP8 before you attach it to the mic stand.

Connecting Your RSP8
Your RSP8 is supplied with a fully-shielded 16 meter (52 foot)
connecting cable. Plug one end of this cable into the Remote
connector on the back of your KSP8, then plug the other end into
the rear of your RSP8. Note that the flat side or arrow marking on
the connector should face up on the RSP8 and down on the KSP8.
The RSP8 is also powered through this cable so there is no
separate power cord or adapter to worry about.
The KSP8 and RSP8 allow “hot plugging,” which means that you
can connect and disconnect the cable at any time, whether or not
the power is on.
There is no power switch on the RSP8; it simply follows the
power status of the connected KSP8. If you want your RSP8 to be
fully off, simply unplug it. You may find it more convenient to
use the standby feature (described in the
KSP8 User’s Guide
),
which reduces power consumption, extends display life, and
allows for near-instant waking.
