The Channel/Program (CH/PROG) Page
This is the first page you see when you enter the Setup Editor. Here, you can select programs,
MIDI channels, and MIDI Bank numbers for each of the setup's eight zones. You can also solo or
mute each zone, and assign zones to be controlled by the K2661's Arpeggiator.

Local Program (LocalPrg)

This selects an internal program to play on each zone. As you change the value of Local
Program, notice that MIDI Program and MIDI Bank match the local program and bank numbers
(Program IDs 0–99 correspond to MIDI Bank 0, 100–199 are MIDI Bank 1, and so on). If you want
to transmit different program and bank numbers over MIDI, highlight either MIDI Program or
MIDI Bank and select a new value. Note that changing the Local Program parameter again will
reset both the MIDI Program and MIDI Bank parameters to match the local program and bank
numbers.
Channel
The Channel parameter defines the MIDI transmit channel for the currently selected zone. You
can set it to any of the 16 MIDI channels. Normally, you will want each zone on a separate MIDI
channel. This is necessary if you want to combine different programs in the setup.
If two zones have the same MIDI channel (and destination), but they have different program
settings, there will be conflicts: no MIDI device, including the K2661, can respond correctly to
two different simultaneous Program Change commands on one channel. The result will be that
only one Program Change will be recognized, and every note played will sound double (if Note
Maps are on). This can create odd and unpredictable timing effects, and will reduce your
polyphony by 50%.
