Tempo; Countoff; Click; Clickkey - Kurzweil K2000 - GUIDE SUPPLEMENT - VERSION 3 Musician’s Manual Supplement

Tempo

The Tempo parameter determines whether the sequencer responds to real-time tempo changes
recorded into a song. when Tempo is Fixed, the sequencer ignores tempo changes. When Tempo
os Auto, the sequencer responds to tempo changes.

CountOff

The Countoff parameter sets the number of bars of click before playback or recording (like a
drummer banging sticks to set the tempo). The countoff also depends on the value of the Click
parameter; if Click is Off, there's no countoff regardless of the value of the Countoff parameter.
If Click is Rec (recording only), the countoff occurs before recording, but not before playback.

Click

When the value of the CountOff parameter is greater than 0, the Click parameter determine
when you hear a click. A value of Off disables the click (consequently there's no countoff click
for recording or playback, and no click during recording or playback. Rec gives you a countoff
click before recording, and a click during recording. It also disables the countolff before
playback, and prevents a click during playback. On gives you a countoff click before recording
and playback, as well as a click during recording and playback. Cnt gives you a countoff click
before recording and playback, but no click during recording or playback.
ClickCh (Click Channel)
The click channel specifies which MIDI channel plays the click (when there is a click).
ClickPrg (Click Program)
This parameter determines which program the K2000 uses to produce the click. Whenever you
enter Song mode, the K2000 automatically selects the click program on the click channel. When
you start recording or playback, the K2000 sends the click program's ID gets as a Program
change command on the click channel.
By default, the click program is 198 Click, but you can use any program.

ClickKey

The click key is the note used for the click. It can be anything from C -1 to G 9. The value of
ClickKey doesn't matter when the click program is 198 Click, since this program plays the same
pitch on every key. If you use a different program, however, you may need to change the default
value of C 4 to make the click more audible.
ClickVel (Click Velocity)
ClickVel determines the volume (the attack velocity, really) of click notes. The first beat of each
bar plays the click at the full value of ClickVel; the remaining beats of each bar play the click at
about 90% of the ClickVel value. This puts a noticeable accent on the first beat of every bar.
