Riffs are full songs or individual tracks of a song created in the K2700's Song mode that
you can trigger in Multi mode. Standard MIDI files may also be imported to Song mode
and then used as riffs in Multis. Every zone in a Multi can have it's own riff—a completely
independent sequence. You can use a Multi with many riffs to trigger and stop looped
sequences of different instrument parts. Alternatively, a single riff can play multiple
instrument parts, and each riff can be used as a different song section of a backing track.
Follow these steps to use a riff:
1. Go to Song mode and find or record the song that you wish to use for your riff. Note the
song ID#, as well as the desired track and start/stop points.
2. Go to Multi mode and edit a Multi. On the Multi Edit Overview page, choose the
program that you want to use for the riff on the current zone. (Program changes that are
recorded in song mode will be ignored when using the song as a riff in a Multi.)
3. Go to the RIFF page, set the Riff to On, then select the desired song, track, song Start/
Stop points. See below for descriptions of these parameters, as well as many other
parameters that determine the behavior of a riff.
Note: By default, setting a zone to trigger a riff will disable the ability to play notes of that
zone's program from the keyboard. To re-enable this ability, see
Riff
Use the Riff parameter to turn the Riff feature On or Off for the currently selected Zone.
