Off Value; Entry (Ent) And Exit States; The Footswitch (Footsw) Page - Kurzweil K2600 Setup Manual

On Value
On Value sets the value of the Controller when the switch is on. In the case of conventionally-
switched functions, such as sustain, the On Value will be 127. (For example, the default for
Switch Pedal 1 (FtSw1) is Controller 64 Ñ Sustain Ñ with an On Value of 127.) However, you
might want to use a button or pedal as a ÒsoftÓ switch, in which case you might set Destination
to 7 (Volume) and On Value to 50. Destination can also be set to Off, so that turning on the
switch has no effect at all in this zone. This can be useful when you are using one switch for
multiple functions in different zones.
If Switch Type is set to Note Momentary or Note Toggle, the On Value will deÞne the velocity of
the note message that gets sent.

Off Value

Off Value is the value of the Controller when the switch is off. The default value is 0. You might
want to change this, as in the Òsoft switchÓ example above: in order to bring the zone up to full
volume when you release the pedal, set Off Value to 127.
If Switch Type is set to Note Momentary or Note Toggle, be sure to leave the Off value at 0; this
will send a note off message when you turn the switch off, preventing stuck notes from
occurring.

Entry (Ent) and Exit States

Entry State determines whether an initial setting for the switch will be sent when the setup is
selected. There are three choices: None (no change), Off (the Off value), and On (the On value).
With a Panel Switch button, if the Entry State is On, the button will light as soon as you select
the setup.
Exit State similarly determines whether a setting for the switch will be sent when you leave the
setup, either for another setup or for Program mode. The same three choices (On, Off, and
None) are available. This is very useful for turning off sustains when changing setups.

The Footswitch (FOOTSW) Page

On the back of the instrument, there are four jacks for Footswitch pedals.
All the foot switches in the default control setup are set to a switch type that doesnÕt generate a
note, and consequently the range of values for their respective Destination parameters is the
