for each program individually.) The Effects Editor allows you to tweak the preset effects, and
create your own. Chapter 9 shows you how. You can also listen to the sounds of various effects
while in Effects mode, without selecting different programs.

MIDI Mode

You'll use MIDI mode to configure the K2500's interaction with other MIDI instruments, by
setting parameters for transmitting and receiving MIDI. You'll also use it to configure your
K2500 for multi-timbral sequencing. On the CHANLS page, you can assign a program to each
channel, and enable or disable each channel's response to three types of MIDI control messages:
program change, volume and pan. See Chapter 10.

Master Mode

Master mode, described in Chapter 11, contains the parameters that control the entire K2500.
Global settings for tuning, transposition, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and audio mix are
adjusted here, as well as the contrast of the backlit display. You can also access the Sample page
from here.

Song Mode

Song mode enables you to play MIDI type 0 sequences stored in the K2500's RAM. It provides a
fully featured sequencer that you can use to record from the keyboard. You can also record
multi-timbrally via MIDI. See Chapter 12.

Disk Mode

Finally, Disk mode is used to load and save programs and other objects using the K2500's
internal floppy disk drive, an optional internal SCSI disk, or an external SCSI disk (or CD-ROM
drive) connected to either of the K2500's SCSI ports. Chapter 13 has the details.
