LK-280 Keyboard How to write and Import your own Music score Midi
This is a short Video on how to write your own music using a free notation program called MuseScore then save it as a Midi file open it with Anvil Studio and clone and save the top and bottom hands and set the channels correctly to display on the LK-280. Then save it on a SD card as a MIDI file and import it to the LK-280 for lesson playback.

Use Anvil Studio to set and clone parts also Free:

To create the proper lay out you will need to create or move the piano parts of the score to the following:
Channel 1 bottom (left) hand sound only
Channel 2 top (right) hand sound only
Channel 3 bottom (left) hand sound and lighted keyboard display
Channel 4 top (right) hand sound and lighted keyboard display
Note - If your midi file only has 2 piano parts like most do you can clone the right and left hands and then change the channels to 3 and 4 as well as the instrumentation. this will enable the score to function right for lessons setting and playback on your LK-280
