Quick Access Mode and the
Quick Access Editor
In Quick Access mode, you can select programs or setups with a single press of an alphanumeric
button (or with the other data entry methods). For example, in the illustration below, you would
simply press 5 on the alphanumeric pad to choose FM Harmonica . Notice that your selection
becomes highlighted in the list, as well as appearing on the line just above the soft-button labels.

Using Quick Access mode involves selecting Quick Access banks from the list of factory preset
or user-programmed banks. You can use the bank selection shortcut to do this: press the +/Ð or
Clear button on the alphanumeric pad, and youÕll be prompted to enter a bank number. Type
the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press Enter . The bank is selected, and you
return to the Quick Access-mode page. Or use the Chan/Bank buttons to scroll through the QA
banks.
Each bank contains ten memory slots, or entries, where you can store programs or setups in any
combination. Any program or setup in the currently selected bank can be selected with the
numeric buttons 0 through 9 .
The ROM (factory preset) QA banks are organized into useful groupings of sounds that we
think youÕll Þnd convenient.
You can store 20 Quick Access banks in each memory bank (except the Zeros bank, which can
store 75). See Storing Objects in the Memory Banks on page 13-36 for a breakdown of the Quick
Access-bank IDs that belong in each memory bank. Press both Chan/Bank buttons
simultaneously to quickly move between memory banks.
The MIDI Program Change commands that the K2600 sends when in Quick Access mode can
differ from those in Program or Setup mode. This depends on the setting you have for the
PChgType parameter in MIDI mode. If the setting is Extended or Kurzweil , the Program
Change commands sent are the same as in Program or Setup mode. If the setting is
QA Extended or QA Kurzweil , the K2600 sends Program Change commands that correspond
to the current Quick Access bank and the entry you select, not the actual program number of the
entry. See Program Change Formats on page 10-11.
Everything you need to know about using Quick Access mode for performance is covered in
Chapter 2, in the section called Playing the Presets , so weÕll move on to the Quick Access Editor,
which youÕll use to create your own Quick Access banks.
