The Mixdown and MIDI Faders Pages (Keyboard Models Only)
There are two buttons below the SOLO button, labeled MIXDOWN and MIDI Faders. These
call up pages which are not Setup mode specific, but which can be used with setups.
The Mixdown Page
This page temporarily turns the K2500's 8 sliders into MIDI pan and volume controls. You can
access this page from any mode by pressing the MIXDOWN button, located below the SOLO
button. Press MIXDOWN, and the screen looks similar to what you see on the Song mode
MIXER page. However, there are a few differences. On the Mixdown page, the sliders relate to
MIDI Channels instead of Tracks. If you highlight 1-8 for instance, moving slider D will always
affect volume or pan for MIDI channel 4.

Shows which channels are affected
by physical sliders.
On the Mixdown page , pan and volume messages are sent to the internal K2500 sounds, to
MIDI Out, or both. All Mixdown page channels have the same destination, which is
determined by the Control parameter on the MIDI Transmit page. You can assign either volume
or pan to the sliders. The soft buttons at the bottom of the Mixdown page let you select Pan or
Volume control, on channels 1-8 or 9-16, allowing you to temporarily use the 8 sliders as pan or
volume faders. Keep in mind that MIDI volume is a channel-specific message. Therefore, if you
have more than one Zone assigned to the same channel, moving any one of the associated
sliders will affect all those Zones.
The MIDI Faders Page
The button just below Mixdown is called MIDI Faders. This page allows you to create a preset
configuration of any controller number assignment for each slider, along with an initial preset
value for that controller. For each slider, you assign the MIDI channel, MIDI Controller number,
and a value. You can enter the value using any normal data entry method, or by moving the
slider. You can also assign several sliders to the same channel, but assign each one to a different
controller number. There are four different configurations, which you select with the soft
buttons. Each configuration remembers the last value you set for each slider. If you want to
send those values without moving the slider, press the Send button.
