Recording Multi-timbral Sequences via MIDI
Recording Multi-timbral Sequences via MIDI
You can record sequences from an external MIDI device using Song mode. Program numbers
and MIDI channel assignments of multi-timbral sequences are recorded with the notes. To
record via MIDI, connect the MIDI Out port of your sequencer to the K2500's MIDI In port.
Select Song mode, and set the Clock parameter to External. This will sync the K2500 with the
MIDI clock of the external sequencer.
You will probably want to set the Local Keyboard Channel parameter to None when recording
from an external sequencer, since the rechannelizing effect of that parameter could have
unintended results.
To record all your tracks in one pass, set the RecTrk parameter to Mult and make sure that for
each channel of information on your source sequence, you have a track enabled to record and a
unique channel assigned to that track. (The default setting of all tracks enabled to record on
channels 1-16 will always work.)
You can also record individual tracks from your source sequence by setting the RecTrk
parameter to a specific track. The K2500 will record only information coming in on the channel
that the RecTrk parameter is set to.
Press the Record button, and the K2500 will wait for the first clock start from the sequencer.
Make sure that your sequencer is set to send MIDI clock signals, and start the sequence. The
K2500 will begin recording when it receives the first MIDI clock start from the sequencer. When
the sequencer has finished its playback, press the Stop soft button, and the K2500 will stop
recording and ask if you want to save the song.
