The Control Setup - Kurzweil K2600 Setup Manual

K2600 Rack Models Only
The K2600R offers the same splitting and layering capabilities as the keyboard model. Even if
your MIDI controller can transmit on only one MIDI channel at a time, you can use the K2600RÕs
setups by setting the Local Keyboard Channel parameter on the MIDI-mode RECEIVE page to
match the channel youÕre using to transmit from your MIDI controller. This will enable you to
play the setupÕs eight zones, and also send the MIDI information from your MIDI controller to
the K2600RÕs MIDI Out port, on the channels used by the current setup.
Once you have properly set the Local Keyboard Channel, the K2600R will remap Controller
messages from your MIDI controller. Some examples of these Controller messages include:
Modulation (01), Foot (04), Data (06), Mono Pressure (32), Sustain (64), and Sostenuto (66). By
sending preset controller numbers, you can remap them to the controllers assigned within the
Setup Editor. For these preset numbers, along with more on using a MIDI controller with the
K2600R, see the discussion of the Local Keyboard Channel in Chapter 10.
If you send data on a channel other than the Local Keyboard Channel, no remapping will occur.
You will hear only the program assigned to the channel on which your MIDI controller is
transmitting.
For the remainder of this chapter, weÕll cover topics that apply to both the rack and keyboard
versions of the K2600. However, any references to the sliders, ribbons, wheels, buttons, or other
physical controllers are intended primarily for K2600 keyboard owners.

The Control Setup

In addition to zone splitting and layering, Setup mode is a powerful way to take advantage of
the K2600Õs programmable sliders, ribbon controllers, and assignable buttons. In order to
provide some of the same ßexibility for Program mode, we created the control setup, which
deÞnes the controller assignments for programs in Program mode.
The default control setup is 97 Control Setup, but you can choose any control setup you want.
To do this, go to the MIDI-mode TRANSMIT page and use any normal data entry method to
change the CtlSetup parameter. When you reenter Program mode, all programs will now
respond to many of the controller assignments deÞned in Zone 1 of the control setup (Zones 2Ð8
are not relevant in Program mode, because a program can occupy only one MIDI channel).
To edit the control setup, press the Edit button while the CtlSetup parameter is highlighted on
the MIDI-mode TRANSMIT page. This brings you to the Setup Editor, which is described in the
following sections. The following table shows which control-setup parameters affect controller
assignments in Program mode.
