K2600 Demos

This disk contains several directories of demo song Þles, which show off some of the capabilities
of your K2600. In addition, the disk contains two other Þles. KDFXTUTR.K26 contains objects
used in the tour of Effects mode that starts on page 9-12. VIDEO.K26 is referred to in the Disk
mode section of the video tutorial.
Most of the song demos can simply be loaded into the K2600 and played from Song mode.
However, two demo Þles require that your K2600 have the sampling option installed. The demo
Þles LMFBDMO1.K26, and LMFBDMO2.K26 demonstrate internal feedback loops using a
chain of VAST->KDFX->sampler->VAST->KDFXÑknown as Live mode. Because a Master table
is included, your SampleMode-page settings will be set automatically when you load the demo
Þle.
Caution: Programs that cause internal feedback can get extremely loud, so itÕs important to be careful
after loading these objects. Live-mode programs are inherently unstable when youÕre in Live mode and the
sampling source (the Src parameter in the Samplemode page) is set to Int. These programs are capable of
producing tremendously loud feedback loops with a relatively small amount of gain. In modes where the
provided studio is not the active studio, the compressor that keeps these feedback chains under control isnÕt
operating, and the loop can grow out of control very quickly. If you intend only to listen to the demo, and
not to examine the programming, we recommend that you delete the song Þle (and its dependent objects)
from your K2600 when you are done listening. We also recommend that you go to the SampleMode page
and set the Src parameter to Ext or the Mode parameter to something other than LiveIn, to help to avoid
any unintended feedback. If you want to look at the program settings, lower the volume on your
instrument, and read the more detailed description of Live mode beginning on page 14-41.
K2600 Farm & Extras
This disk contains over 1000 extra programs and effects, all cultivated from the ÒfarmÓ where we
grow our programs and effects.
The K2500FRM directory contains over 1000 extra programs, organized in Þles by type of
sound. This set of programs was originally developed for the K2500, hence the name.
The KDFXFARM directory contains two subdirectories. LIVEMODE contains a set of Þles
containing extra programs using Live mode (which requires having the sample option in your
K2500). MOREKDFX contains some FX Presets and a number of Programs that use KDFX, as
well as a couple of blank studios.
PIANOFRM contains extra programs that speciÞcally use the 4-megabyte stereo piano.
VOCODER contains programs and setups that are designed to be used with the Vocoder
feature. You can read about the Vocoder in detail on page 11-4.
