Bank Select
BankSelect allows you to choose between having the K2661 respond to Controller 0 or
Controller 32 or both. The reason for this is that various manufacturers have chosen one method
or the other. The four possible values for this parameter are:
0 only Responds to controller 0 only.
32 only Responds to controller 32 only.
Ctl 0 Responds to 0 or 32.
Ctl 32 Responds to 0 or 32.
Power Mode
Power Mode has two possible values: User and Demo. When set to User, the user’s parameter
settings are retained. When set to Demo several parameters are returned to default values when
the unit is powered up. The default value for the Power Mode parameter is User.
The following parameters are reset when Power Mode is set to Demo.
Master mode: KB3 Channel resets to 1
MIDI Transmit: Control resets to Both; Channel resets to 1; Transpose resets to 0 ST
Effects mode: FX Mode resets to Auto, and FX Chan resets to Current
Disk mode: Current Disk resets to SMedia
The Channels Page
Press the CHANLS soft button to select the CHANNELS page, where you can dene numerous
parameters for each MIDI channel independently. Use the Chan/Bank buttons to select the MIDI
channel you wish to work on.
The CHANNELS page is very useful when you’re doing multi-timbral sequencing, with
programs assigned to numerous MIDI channels. The CHANNELS page lets you set several
control characteristics for each MIDI channel. This makes it easy to adjust the playback of the
sequence without editing the sequence itself. For example, you might turn off the Enable
parameter for one or more channels to mute the tracks on those channels. You could also set the
VolLock parameter to On, to ignore any MIDI volume messages the K2661 receives on a given
MIDI channel.
