K2600 Program List

K2600 Program List
The preset programs in the K2600 are organized by instrument category. YouÕll Þnd a few
representatives of each instrument sampled for the base ROM sound block, as well as
synthesized instrument emulations, commonly used synthesizer timbres, and templates for new
programming. We hope you Þnd it a good starting point for your own work.

Setup List

The setup is a combination of up to eight zones, each with independent MIDI channel and
control assignments. Setups can be played on rack models via the Local Keyboard Channel
feature: in MIDI mode on the RECEIVE page, change the value of the LocalKbdCh parameter
from None to a channel of your choice, and set your MIDI source to send on only that channel.
Now, any note that comes in on that channel will be remapped according to the display channel
(in Program mode) and according to the setup (in Setup mode).

Conventional Controller Assignments

There are 99 factory setups in the K2600. YouÕll Þnd unique internal program combinations,
arpeggiator examples, special ribbon and controller functions, and templates for user-deÞned
setups. With as many as 24 assignable controllers shared among 8 independent zones, K2600
setups can be quite powerful, and they require some experimentation to Þnd all their features
and nuances. In order to make this process easier, many setups are programmed according to
certain conventions. The sliders generally provide mixing capabilities either as group faders or
individual zone faders. They also provide control over timbre, effects mix, and clock tempo.
Other conventions include those listed in Table -C-1 (these are the default settings for Setup
97 ControlSetup).
