Performance Controls

From your MIDI controller
The K2500 responds to attack velocity and release velocity, as well as mono and poly pressure
(aftertouch) messages. It will also respond to most standard MIDI control parameters; see
"MIDI and Setup Control Parameters" below.
Volume knob
The Volume knob controls the volume at the MIX (stereo) audio outputs and at the headphone
jack. The individual outputs and MIDI volume are not affected by this knob.
MIDI and Setup Control Parameters
The K2500 responds to most standard MIDI control messages, including Pitch Wheel, Mod
Wheel, switch pedals, control pedals, and control sliders. The K2500's response to these
controls is set on the XMIT (Transmit) page in MIDI mode, and works in conjunction with the
Local Keyboard Channel parameter on the RECV (Receive) page in MIDI mode. This is
described fully in Chapter 10. For now, you'll probably find that the K2500 responds
predictably to most of these controls. If you want to change its response, turn to Chapter 10 and
read the section covering the Local Keyboard Channel parameter.
You can also use the K2500 to relay control messages from your MIDI controller to other MIDI
devices connected to the K2500's MIDI Out port. This is also controlled by the Local Keyboard
Channel parameter (MIDI RECV page) in combination with the settings for the control
parameters on the MIDI XMIT (transmit) page or the Setup mode page.
