Function Soft Buttons

The remainder of this chapter describes the soft buttons that perform specific functions, as
opposed to selecting programming pages. The descriptions below are arranged in the order in
which you would see the soft buttons if you pressed the more> button repeatedly. You can
always get to these buttons, regardless of which page is currently selected.

Set Range (SetRng)

The SetRng soft button gives you a quick way to set the lowest and highest notes in the
currently selected layer. Press this button, and the K2661 will prompt you to trigger the note you
want to set as the low note for the layer. Press the Cancel soft button if you change your mind.
Otherwise, trigger the desired note on the K2661 keyboard or a MIDI controller. When you
trigger a note, the K2661 prompts you to trigger the note you want to be the highest in the layer.
When you trigger another note, the previously selected page returns, and the notes you
triggered will be recorded as the new values for the LoKey and HiKey parameters on the LAYER
page. You'll notice that the higher of the two notes you triggered is entered as the HiKey value,
regardless of the order in which you triggered the two notes.

Name

Call up the page that enables you to change the name of the current program. See page 5-3.

Save

Start the process of saving the current program. See page 5-3.

Delete

Delete the current program from RAM. You can also delete any other RAM program by scrolling
through the list that appears when you press the Delete soft button, then pressing Delete again
when the desired program is selected. If you attempt to delete a ROM program, the K2661 will
say it's deleting the program, but it doesn't actually do it. See page 5-6.

Dump

Send a MIDI System Exclusive dump of the current program's settings. See the Musician's
Reference for more information about System Exclusive messages.

New Layer (NewLyr)

Create a new layer, numbered one above the highest existing layer. The new layer's parameters
are those of the single layer in Program 199, called Default Program. When you press this
button, the K2661 will tell you that it is creating a new layer, then will return to the page you
were on. The new layer becomes the current layer, and is the highest-numbered layer in the
program. If the current program already has its maximum number of layers, the K2661 will tell
you that you can't add any more.
Program 199 makes a good template for programs that you build from the algorithm up. You
might want to edit Program 199 to adjust one or more parameters to values you want to use in
your template program. If you like the settings of the default layer as they are, however,
remember not to make any permanent changes to Program 199.
