Setup Mode
Off indicates that the zone has been turned off completely (when a zone is turned off, no MIDI,
program, or key-range information is visible for the zone).

You can transpose the entire setup up or down with the two Octav soft buttons. Press them
simultaneously to set the transposition back to zero. When you transpose a setup, the split
points between zones remain in place; each program is transposed within its respective zone.
The Panic soft button sends All Notes Off and Reset All Controllers messages to all zones. The
Sample soft button provides convenient access to the K2600Õs sampler. Refer to Chapter 14 for
complete information on the sampler.
When you select a setup in Setup mode, the K2600 sends a number of MIDI messages, on each of
the MIDI channels used by the setup. Some of these include: Program Change commands, MIDI
Bank Select messages, Pan and Volume messages, and entry values for physical controllers
(entry values are the values that take effect as soon as you select the setup; there are also
controller exit values, which are the values of the controllers when you leave the setupÑeither
by selecting another setup or by exiting Setup mode). The values of all these messages depend
on the parameters you deÞne in the Setup Editor.

You can load setups created on the K2000 or K2500 into the K2600. Setups created on the K2500
are the same as those created on the K2600, so theyÕre completely interchangeable. Since setups
created on the K2000 have fewer features (like three zones instead of eight), you have two
choices for using K2000 setups on the K26000. You can leave the K2000 setups as they are, and
theyÕll work for either the K2000 or the K2600Ñbut they wonÕt have all the K2600 features like
eight zones. Or you can edit the K2000 setups to take advantage of the K2600Õs expanded
features. Once you do this, however, the setups will no longer work on the K2000, so if you want
to keep using those setups on a K2000, be sure to keep backup copies of the original setups.
If you edit a K2000 setup to use K2600 features, you may need to reassign the programs it uses.
If your K2000 setup uses a K2000 ROM program, the setup wonÕt play the same program when
you load it into the K2600, because the two instruments have different lists of ROM programs. In
this case, you can either select a similar program for the K2600 setup (if one exists), or you can
save the programs used by the K2000 setup into the same ROM IDs in the K2600 (this doesnÕt
really replace the K2600 programs; they reappear when you delete the K2000 programs). If your
K2000 setup uses K2000 RAM programs, you wonÕt have any problems as long as you load
dependent objects when you load the K2000 setup into the K2600.
