Large Ribbon Configuration
You can use the Large Ribbon as one controller, or divide it up into three smaller sections, each
with its own controller assignments. Choose a value of One Section or Three Sections for the
LargeRibbonConÞg parameter.
Notice the three white arrows directly above the Large Ribbon. The largest arrow (in the middle)
points to the Large RibbonÕs center. The two smaller arrows on either side are the section
boundaries for three-section conÞgurations.

Position Mode (PosMode)

When you touch one of the ribbons, the K2600 responds in one of two ways, depending on the
setting of the PosMode parameter. Relative means that wherever you touch the ribbon becomes
the Òzero pointÓ for whatever the ribbon is controlling; you wonÕt notice any change in the
sound until you slide your Þnger. Relative mode tends to be the most natural for performanceÑ
just wiggle your Þnger anywhere on the Large Ribbon to get vibrato in many factory programs
and setups. You get the same effect no matter where you do the wiggling.
Absolute means that the zero point for the ribbon is always at exactly the same physical location
on the ribbon. By default this is the center of the ribbon, although you can use the Center
