All Notes Off

If this parameter's value is set to Normal, the K2661 responds to All Notes Off messages
received over MIDI. Ignore causes these messages to be ignored. If you're using a Roland
product as a MIDI controller for your K2661, you'll want to set the value of this parameter to
Ignore. This is because some older Roland products occasionally send an All Notes Off message
when no keys are held down—even if you're sustaining notes with a pedal. You might find all
your sustains missing from your sequence, for example, if you're driving your K2661 from one
of Roland's hardware sequencers. Setting this parameter to Ignore takes care of this problem.
Regardless of the setting for this parameter, the K2661 always responds to its own Panic button
by shutting off all active notes and controllers.

Program Change Type (ProgChgType)

This determines how the K2661 responds to program change commands received via MIDI. See
Program Change Formats on page 10-11 for an explanation of the various values available for this
parameter.
Velocity Map—Receive
The velocity map applies a preset curve to incoming velocity messages. It maps incoming
velocity levels to new levels that correspond to the eight dynamic levels used by the VTRIGs
and keymaps for velocity level selection. See Chapter 18. Normally you'll leave this set to
1 Linear. Adjust this parameter's value only when you need to alter the K2661's response to the
velocity messages from a MIDI controller, for example, if you're getting too much or too little
volume when you play, or when you're using a sequencer to drive the K2661.
Pressure Map—Receive
Like the velocity map, this determines how the K2661 responds to incoming pressure
(aftertouch) messages.

System Exclusive ID (SysExID)

The SysExID parameter differentiates between more than one MIDI device of the same model.
You won't need to change the default setting of 0 unless you have multiple K2661s (or K2600s,
K2500s, or K2000s) receiving SysEx messages from a single source. In that case, make sure each
instrument has a different SysExID. Then you can direct SysEx messages to the appropriate
K2661 with the SysExID byte that's included with every SysEx message. A value of 127 specifies
"Omni Receive." That is, at this value, a K2661 responds to a SysEx message regardless of the
SysEx ID of the message (as long as the manufacturer and device IDs match—see Chapter 7 of
the Musician's Reference for more information about System Exclusive messages).

SCSI ID

Use this parameter to change the SCSI ID of your K2661. You can ignore this parameter unless
you've connected a SCSI device (external SCSI disk or CD-ROM drive) to the K2661's SCSI port.
You can use the SCSI port to chain up to seven SCSI devices to the K2661 (a total of eight devices
can be chained together); just be sure to set each one to a different SCSI ID. Most SCSI devices
available today make it easy to change their SCSI IDs, so you may not have to adjust this
parameter even if you have several SCSI devices connected. See Chapter 13 for more
information about using SCSI devices.
