Basic Effects Mode
A Simple Studio
you shall see. The Aux bus has its own set of 3 PAUs, which are completely independent and are
not shared with the insert FXBus PAUs.
You can preassign a PAU value to an FXBus, in which case any FX presets that require more
PAUs than you have given the bus cannot be loaded into the bus. If you try to put an FX preset
into a bus that requires more PAUs than are currently available on that bus, the preset's name
appears in parentheses—exactly the way a KB3 program appears if you try to select it on a
channel that's not the KB3 channel.
In most factory studios, the Allocation parameters are set to Auto, in which case PAUs are
assigned dynamically as you assign FX presets to the various buses. As you unassign FX presets
from buses, or assign FX presets with smaller PAU requirements, the PAUs freed up are
automatically reassigned to other buses where they are needed.
A value of Auto for this parameter allocates PAUs to lower-numbered FXBuses first, as needed.

This is the INPUT page. It is showing Input A, as indicated both on the left side and in the upper
right corner—use the Chan/Bank buttons to view the other three inputs. Input A is the first
stereo signal pair coming from the K2661 Program Editor's Output section. Depending on how
the K2661 is set up, this could be a single layer of a single program, or multiple layers, or
multiple programs, or one or more zones from a setup, or the output from one or more MIDI
channels.
The S at the upper left says that the Input A is being handled as a stereo feed; this can be
changed to two mono feeds. The P means that the stereo feed has a Pan control; you can choose
to make this a Balance control instead, by setting this parameter to SB.
If you play on the keyboard, you can see the arrow next to the letter A flashing, as audio is being
passed through this part of the studio. The arrow on this page flashes only as long as there is an
input signal present.
Equalization
The first two blocks are the low and high EQs on the input. Put the cursor on either box and turn
the Alpha wheel, and you will see the options you have available for types of EQ—these include
None, which bypasses that EQ. The first block has more choices than the second.
The G underneath each block is its Gain; 0.0dB is unity gain; the signal passes through without
change. (There is no Gain parameter when a block is set to LoPass or HiPass.) F is the equalizer's
