MIDI Mode
The TRANSMIT Page
10-3
A value of Local disables the MIDI Out port. Use this setting when you want to play the K2661,
but not to send any MIDI information to other MIDI instruments (local control only). A value of
Both (the default) enables you to play the K2661 and send MIDI information from its MIDI Out
port.
Velocity Map—Transmit (VelocMap)
The transmit velocity map affects the way the K2661 sends velocity information to its MIDI Out
port. Different maps generate different velocity values for the same attack velocity—that is, they
apply different curves to the attack velocities the K2661 receives and remap them to new
velocities before transmitting them to the MIDI Out port.
Important: The MIDI velocity maps affect only those MIDI velocity values transmitted via the
K2661’s MIDI Out port, and are used exclusively to adjust the response of MIDI devices
connected to the Out port. If you have a DX7 connected to your K2661, for example, and the DX
is distorting, selecting a transmit Velocity Map like Hard2 should handle the problem. Changing
the velocity map on this page does not affect the response of the K2661’s sound engine to its
own keyboard, or to an external MIDI controller. That’s done on the RECEIVE page. See Chapter
18 of the Musician’s Guide if you’re interested in editing velocity maps.
Also important: Both the transmit and receive velocity maps should be left at values of Linear
unless you really need to change them. The linear maps give you the most consistent results.
Keep in mind that the setting of the Veltouch parameter in Master mode also has an effect on the
transmit velocity map.
Pressure Map—Transmit (PressMap)
This is like the VelocMap, but it controls the aftertouch values sent by the K2661 to its MIDI Out
port. Use this exclusively to adjust the response of MIDI devices connected to the K2661’s MIDI
Out port. Changing the pressure map on this page does not affect the response of the K2661’s
sound engine to its own keyboard, or to an external MIDI controller. That’s done on the
RECEIVE page. See Chapter 18 of the Musician’s Guide for information about editing pressure
maps.
Program Change (PChng)
When On, the K2661 sends program change commands to its MIDI Out port when you select
programs or setups from the front panel or from your MIDI controller. Select a value of Off
when you want to change programs on the K2661 but don’t want to send program change
commands to the MIDI Out port. This parameter doesn’t affect the type of program change
command that’s sent; it just determines whether any command is sent at all. (The type of
program change command is determined by the settings for three parameters on the CH/PRG
page in the Setup Editor.)
