Program
The Program parameter selects the program for the currently displayed zone. This determines
the program change number that will be sent on that zoneÕs MIDI channel when the setup is
selected (if the Program Change parameter is set to On). See ÒProgram Change FormatsÓ in
Chapter 10 for a full explanation of the K2vxÕs program change methods.
Channel
The Channel parameter deÞnes the MIDI transmit channel for the currently selected zone. It
can be set to a value of Off, to disable the zone, or it can be set to any of the 16 MIDI channels.
The most important thing to remember about setups is that each zone must be on a separate
channel. This is because you can only have one program on a channel at a time. The only
exception to this would be if you wanted the same program in more than one zone. For
example, you could take a program and assign it to two zones, then transpose one zone up an
octave, allowing you to play two octaves of the same sound. In general, though, you'll be using
different programs for each zone.
Transpose (Xpose)
This deÞnes the amount of transposition sent by the currently selected zone. This will affect
both the K2vx and MIDI devices receiving from the K2vx.
Low Key (LoKey), High Key (HiKey)
The LoKey and HiKey parameters deÞne the note range of the currently selected zone. The
easiest way to change these values is to press the SetRng soft button. YouÕll be prompted to
trigger the notes (low note Þrst) you want to be the lowest and highest notes for the zone. When
you do, youÕll return to the Setup Editor page, and the notes you triggered will be reßected in
the vales for LoKey and HiKey. TheyÕll also be represented by the lines beneath the program
names in the box at the left of the Setup mode page. You can set these values with normal data
entry methods as well.
Effect
This tells the global effects processor which effect to use for the current setup. The values
available for this parameter are the 47 factory preset effects, and any that you program yourself.
ItÕs not possible to use more than one preset effect per setup (the effects processor can apply
only one preset effect at a time, even though that preset can combine up to four digital effects).
Changing the effect for one zone will change it for all zones. It also may change the value of the
FX Mode parameter in Effects Mode to Auto (if it isnÕt set to Auto already). This enables the
effect to be selected automatically when a program or setup is selected, regardless of the
operating mode at the time.
Effects Mix (FXMix)
The FXMix parameter lets you set the level of effect from 0% (no effect) to 100% (maximum).
This also affects all three zones. Remember that the programs in the setup must have their
audio output groups set to A (either on the OUTPUT page in the Program Editor or on the
CHANLS page in MIDI mode), and you must use the MIX audio outputs if you want effects
applied to the programs.
Mode
This determines whether the currently selected zone affects only the K2vx (Local), gets sent
only via MIDI (MIDI), controls both the K2vx and connected MIDI instruments (Both), or is
disabled (Off). If the values you set for the other control parameters on this page donÕt seem to
be doing what you expect, check the Mode parameter to make sure the information is being
sent where you think it is.
