MIDI Mode
The TRANSMIT Page
Control Setup
This is where you select the current control setup, Zone 1 of which sets the physical controller
assignments for all programs while you’re in Program mode. Refer to Chapters 6 and 7 for more
information on the control setup.
Note: The control setup is responsible for many of the settings that each had separate parameters on the
K2000 and K2500. If you’ve worked with one of these instruments, you’ll need to relearn how MIDI
transmission controls are defined. Instead of setting a number of parameters on the MIDI TRANSMIT
page, you’ll simply select a control setup. Zone 1 of that setup then determines the controller assignments
(as specified on the SLIDER, RIBBON, WHEEL, and other pages in the Setup Editor).
Channel
This defines which MIDI channel the K2661 uses to transmit MIDI messages. The value for this
parameter matches the current MIDI channel displayed on the top line of the Program-mode
page. If you change the current MIDI channel while in Program mode, the setting of this
parameter changes accordingly, and vice versa.
Transpose
This parameter affects the transposition that’s applied to the MIDI data stream. Adjusting this
parameter transposes the K2661’s notes, as well as notes on slaves receiving from the K2661.
This transposition setting is not overridden when you use Setup mode, but is added to the
transposition settings for the currently selected setup.
Control
Here you determine where the K2661 sends MIDI information. A value of MIDI sends the MIDI
signal to the K2661’s MIDI Out port, but not to the K2661 itself. This is also known as Local
Control Off.
If you’re using your K2661 with a MIDI sequencer and have a MIDI loop (K2661’s Out to
sequencer’s In, and vice versa), you’ll need to select a value of MIDI when your sequencer’s
Patch Thru feature—also known as Play Thru, and Soft Thru—is on. This will prevent the
K2661’s MIDI signal from looping back on itself, which can cause problems. If you deactivate
your sequencer’s Patch Thru feature, set the Control parameter’s value to Both, and the K2661
will play normally. Also, you may want to set the value of the LocalKbdCh parameter to None
when you have a MIDI loop, because you can have problems with doubled notes and MIDI
overload. You won’t have problems, however, as long as the channels transmitted by the K2661
are all different from the incoming MIDI channel.
