Guitar/Wind Controller Mode

If you are using a wind controller or guitar controller with your K2vx, you may not always get the
sound you expect. Since these controllers will sometimes send a MIDI Note On command before
sending Breath or Volume data, the attack transients that characterize each instrument may be lost.
Therefore, the K2vx provides a special mode that may improve its response to your guitar or wind
controller. To enter Guitar/Wind Controller mode, press both Chan/Bank buttons while in Master
mode, then conÞrm with the Yes soft button.

Guitar/Wind Controller mode slightly delays MIDI Note On and Note Off commands, so that
response to pitch bend and other expressive components of a note will be more accurate. If you are
hearing a "glitch" in the attack of notes from your guitar or wind controller, you should try setting
your K2vx to this mode. Keep in mind, however, that since this mode slightly changes the order in
which MIDI commands are sent, it may affect the performance of the K2vx under some
circumstances.
When you reboot the K2vx, it will reset Guitar/Wind Controller Mode to off.
