MIDI Mode
The Receive (RECV) Page
sequence, for example, if youÕre driving your K2vx from one of RolandÕs hardware sequencers.
Setting this parameter to Ignore will take care of this problem.
Regardless of the setting for this parameter, the K2vx will always respond to its own Panic
button by shutting off all active notes and controllers.
Program Change Type (ProgChgType)
This determines how the K2vx will respond to program change commands received via MIDI.
The value of this parameter automatically matches the value of PChgType on the XMIT page;
changing it on one page will change it on the other. See ÒProgram Change FormatsÓ at the end
of this chapter for an explanation of the various values available for this parameter.
Velocity Map—Receive
The velocity map applies a preset curve to incoming velocity messages. It maps incoming
velocity levels to new levels that correspond to the eight dynamic levels used by the VTRIGs
and keymaps for velocity level selection. See Chapter 17. Normally youÕll leave this set to
1 Linear. Adjust this parameterÕs value only when you need to alter the K2vxÕs response to the
velocity messages from your MIDI controller, for example, if youÕre getting too much or too
little volume when you play, or when youÕre using a sequencer to drive the K2vx.
Pressure Map—Receive
Like the velocity map, this determines how the K2vx responds to incoming pressure
(aftertouch) messages.
System Exclusive ID (SysExID)
The SysExID parameter differentiates between more than one MIDI device of the same model.
You wonÕt need to change the default setting of 0 unless you have multiple K2vxs receiving
SysEx messages from a single source. In that case, make sure each K2vx has a different SysExID.
Then you can direct SysEx messages to the appropriate K2vx with the SysExID byte thatÕs
included with every SysEx message. A value of 127 speciÞes ÒOmni Receive.Ó That is, at this
value, a K2vx will respond to a SysEx message regardless of the SysEx ID of the message (as
long as the manufacturer and device IDs matchÑsee the Reference Guide for more information
on System Exclusive messages).
SCSI ID
Use this parameter to change the SCSI ID of your K2vx. You can ignore this parameter unless
youÕve connected a SCSI device (external SCSI disk or CD-ROM drive) to the K2vxÕs SCSI port.
You can use either or both SCSI ports to chain up to seven SCSI devices to the K2vx (a total of
eight devices can be chained together); just be sure to set each one to a different SCSI ID. Most
SCSI devices available today make it easy to change their SCSI IDs, so you may not have to
adjust this parameter even if you have several SCSI devices connected. See Chapter 13 for more
information about using SCSI devices.
Bend Smooth
This parameter can improve your K2vxÕs performance when youÕre driving it from a MIDI
guitar controller. Its default value is On.
You may Þnd that pitch bending seems to carry over from the previous note to the next note,
causing it to start on the wrong pitch. This is probably due to the automatic pitch smoothing
provided by the K2vx. If this is happening, try setting the BendSmooth parameter to a value of
Off.
Local Keyboard Channel (LocalKbdCh)
Note: You wonÕt generally want to change the setting of the Local Keyboard Channel parameter
unless you are using the rack version of the K2vx.
