Splits and Layers
The Split and Layer function can be used to Split or Layer the current Program or Multi.
Different keyboard regions can play different Programs, or multiple Programs can be played
from the same region. To Split or Layer a Multi, it must contain at least one Zone which is
unused (Off).
In Program or Multi Mode, press the SPLIT or LAYER soft button to view the Split or Layer
Page. You will then be able to configure up to three additional Programs to create a Split or
Layered Multi containing up to four Programs.
Press the SAVE button once to view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose
an ID number and name for the Split/Layer Multi you are saving. On the Multi Save Page,
press the SAVE button again to save the Split/Layer Multi. After saving the Split or Layer as a
Multi, additional Multi Controller and FX settings can be edited in Multi Edit Mode.

Program Mode
The K2700 always powers up in Program Mode, where single instrument sounds can be
played directly from the keyboard, or multitimbrally via MIDI.
Saving Programs
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers (Knobs, Wheels
or Buttons), the SAVE button turns on to indicate that a change has been made to that
Program.
To save a copy of the Program with the changes you've made, press the SAVE button once to
view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number and name for the
Program you are saving. On the Program Save Page, press the SAVE button again to save the
Program as a User Program.

Program Edit Mode allows you to select parameters for the assignable knobs, sliders and
buttons, adjust the current Program's Arpeggiator settings, and adjust many other Program
parameters.

Multi Mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 16 Programs split
and/or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard.
