A Tour of KDFX V2

A Simple Studio

Call up Program #199 on your K2600/K2500. In Program mode, either scroll the Alpha wheel to

Program 199 Default Program, or press 1-9-9-Enter on the Alphanumeric pad.

Now go into Effects mode by pressing the Effects button, and you'll see this page:

Aux|| 199|No Effect |||||| ||||-| Size:0

Now press the CTRL soft button. A screen such as this one will appear:

Scroll the Alpha wheel until the Studio parameter's value is 200 Simple.

Now press Edit, and this page appears:

This is the FXBus page for FXBus1. It is where an FX preset is assigned to the FXBus. Put the

cursor on the box containing 200*4 Tap BPM—this is the current FX preset, a four-tap delay

whose speed is expressed in terms of tempo (Beats Per Minute). Use the Alpha wheel to scroll

through the many other FX presets that come with KDFX. Like all K2600/K2500 objects, those

that are in RAM (like this one) will have an asterisk in their name, and those that are in ROM

will not. There are three more FXBuses, which you can view by pressing the Chan/Bank

buttons. In this studio they are all empty (No Effect).

Go back to 4 Tap BPM on FXBus1, and play the piano sound from your keyboard. The arrow

next to FX1 ﬂashes, showing that there is audio passing through this FXBus. The arrow keeps

ﬂashing as long as the FXBus is processing audio.

Below the FX preset selector is a Wet/Dry control, which determines how much of the signal

will pass through the FX preset. Below that is a Tempo control, which sets the timing of the

2-2
