Changing the Current Layer in Multi-Layer Programs
When editing a multi-layer program (including drum programs), you can quickly switch
between layers by holding the Enter button, then striking a key. The K2661 will change the
current layer to that key’s layer. If the key is part of more than one layer, subsequent key strikes
will cycle through each layer that has that key in its range.
Note: This method for changing the current layer in a multi-layer program will NOT work if the
currently highlighted parameter has a note number or control source for its value. In this case, the key you
strike will function as described in Intuitive Data Entry, above.
Search
There’s a convenient way to nd any string of characters within the currently selected list, or
range of values. Hold the Enter button and press any of the numeric buttons. A dialog like the
one below appears.

Type in the string of characters you want to nd. For example, if you’re looking at the program
list and you want to nd all programs containing the word “Horn,” you would type h-o-r-n.
This function is not case-sensitive; it will nd upper and lower case characters regardless of
what you type.
When you’ve typed the string of characters you want to nd, press Enter. The K2661 searches
through the current list of objects or values, nds all items that match the string of characters
you typed, and displays the rst one it nds. Hold Enter and press one of the Plus/Minus
buttons to search for the next higher- or lower-numbered object that contains the string of
characters.
The string you select remains in memory. You can store and select a string of characters with
each of the numeric buttons. Hold Enter and press one of the numeric buttons at any time to
select that string for a search. When the string appears, you can change it, or just press Enter to
nd that string.
Renaming Multiple Objects
You can automatically rename multiple RAM objects with one operation, by substituting one
string of characters with another.
1. Press the Master mode button to enter Master mode.
2. Press the Object soft button, then press the Name soft button. The NAME page appears,
showing a list of all RAM objects.
