Programming Examples
This is the basic process for creating any keymap and incorporating it into a program. In this
case, we donÕt want the layers to overlap, and we want each layer to use a distinct keymap with
its own sample assignment. In other programs, you might want to create a keymap with
different timbres in a single layer, and you might want the layers to overlap.
As an example of how to quickly set up a multi-sample keymap, weÕll change the sample
assignment in Layer 1. Return to the Program Editor, and select Layer 1. Return to the Keymap
Editor (by pressing Edit while the Keymap parameter is highlighted on the EditProg*KEYMAP
page), then press the NewRng soft button. The K2600 will prompt you to strike a low and high
key on your MIDI controller. Strike C 4 and C
parameter changes to reßect the new range assignment. Now select the sample parameter, and
turn the Alpha Wheel one click to the right, to select the sample 65 13in Amb Tom-C 4. Save the
keymap, replacing the earlier version. You can repeat this process to create as many new key
ranges as you like (in this example, doing so would have no effect, since weÕve limited each
layer to a narrow three-key span). Make sure the value of the KeyTrk parameter on the Keymap
page is set to 100ct/key.
If you wanted the layers to overlap, you would simply set each layerÕs LoKey and HiKey
parameters (on the LAYER page in the Program Editor) to the same respective values. For
example, you might set each LoKey parameter to C 2, and each HiKey parameter to C 7, causing
all layers to play across Þve octaves.
Now weÕll add some processing to some of the layers in our drum program example. The fact
that each sound is on a different layer enables us to use a different algorithm for each layer,
giving us enormous control over each sound.
Return to the Program Editor and select Layer 1. Press the PITCH soft button, and select the
Coarse transpose parameter. Set its value to -3 ST. Select the KeyTrk parameter, and set its value
to 400 cents per key. This will give you a much different pitch on each key.
Next, select the PITCH page and select the Src2 parameter. Set its value to ENV2 (1, 2, 1, Enter).
Select the MaxDpt parameter and set its value to 300 cents. Select the DptCtl parameter, and set
its value to VTRIG1 (1, 0, 6, Enter). Press Edit to select the VTRIG page, and set the VTrig1 Level
parameter to a value of fff. Return to the PITCH page, select the Src2 parameter, and press Edit
to select the ENV2 page. Set it up as shown in the ENV2 page below.

Next, select Layer 2 and select the F4 AMP page. Set the Adjust parameter to 8 dB to give the
kick a little more presence. Select the Src1 parameter and set it to a value of AttVel
(1, 0, 0, Enter). Select the Depth parameter and set a value of 10 dB. The kick will get
considerably louder as you strike the keys harder.
Select Layer 3, and press the ALG soft button. Select the center, 3-stage DSP function block and
assign a value of HIFREQ STIMULATOR. Press the more> soft button once, then press the
F1 FRQ soft button. Select the Coarse Adjust parameter, and assign a value of G 10 25088 Hz.
Select the Src1 parameter and assign a value of MWheel. Select the Depth parameter and set it to
20-10
