Master Mode

Press the Master mode button to enter Master mode, which contains parameters affecting the
K2vxÕs overall performance.

The Master Mode Page

On the Master mode page youÕll Þnd parameters for setting the overall tuning and transposition of
the K2vx, the MIDI channel to be used for drum programs (explained below), and for several
keyboard, audio, display, and programming adjustments. You can also enter the sampler from the

Tune
Adjusting the value of this parameter will tune every program in the K2vx by the amount you
specify. Tuning can be adjusted up or down 100 cents (one semitone) in one-cent increments. This
parameter is useful for tuning up with recordings and acoustic instruments. Adjusting the tuning in
Master mode does not change the settings on the PITCH page of individual programs, but will be
added to any adjustments you make there. Master mode tuning adjustments affect only the K2vxÕs
notes.
Transpose
Like the Tune parameter above, Transpose will affect every K2vx program, but not those notes sent
to the MIDI Out port. You can adjust the MIDI transposition on the XMIT page in MIDI mode.
Drum Channel
Most K2vx programs have a maximum of three layers, which is enough to create just about any
sound you can think of, especially when that sound covers most or all of the keyboard. But what do
you do if you want to create a program with a dozen or more different sounds across the range from
C 0 to C 8, and you want to be able to run each sound independently through a set of DSP
functions?
Drum programs allow you to do exactly that. They can have up to 32 layers, and each layer has all
the programming features of regular programsÑits own keymap, its own algorithm, etc. We call
