New Parameters on the MIDI Receive Page

The Bank Select parameter allows you to choose between having the K2000 respond to
Controller 0 or Controller 32 (or both). The reason for this is that various manufacturers have
chosen one method or the other. The four possible values for this parameter are as follows:
0 only
32 only
Ctl 0
Ctl 32
The Power Mode parameter lets you automatically reset certain parameters to their factory
defaults every time you turn on your K2000. This parameter has two possible values: User and
Demo. When the value is User, the K2000 preserves your settings at power up. When the value
is Demo, the parameters listed below return to their default values at power up. The default
value for the Power Mode parameter is User.

Also, the K2000 now remembers your current MIDI channel and tranposition (if any) when you
pwer down, and restores them when you power up. In previous versions, powering up the
K2000 always resets to Channel 1 and removes any existing transposition.

New Control Sources

Version 3 provides several new Control Sources: Global Attack Velocity (GAttVel), Global Key
Number (GKeyNum), Global Hi Key (GHiKey) and Global Lo Key (GLoKey).
GAttVel is a control source that is updated every time you srike a key (kind of a multi-trigger
function). This is a useful source to assign to control parameters such as F/X Depth.
In addition to enabling (triggering) layers from any controller (works like an on/off switch), you
can now set the assigned controller's threshold (a fixed value, or a range of values from 0–127),
thus defining the range within which the controller will enable the layer.
Here's an example. Imagine a 32-layer guitar program, with each layer using a different VAST
algorithm. Each layer is enabled by a unique velocity range (Layer 1 is triggered by velocites
from 0 to 4, Layer 2 from 5 to 8, etc.). Slight variations in attack velocity trigger different layers,
each of which can incorporate subtle differences in volume, brightness, attack length, DSP
effects, etc. This provides realistic velocity-based variations in the guitar's timbre, without
reducing your polyphony—since the K2000 switches between layers (many instruments use
crossfades for velocity switching; this uses up twice as many notes).
