The Panel Play Feature (K2vxR)
The Panel Play Feature (K2vxR)
You can play notes on the K2vxR even if you donÕt have a MIDI controller connected to its
MIDI In port. Using the alphanumeric pad, you can play the octave from C 4 to C 5 and send
the notes to the MIX and Headphone outputs.
While in any mode, press and hold the CANCEL button on the alphanumeric pad. Press one of
the other alphanumeric buttons to play various notes: 1 is C 4, 2 is C# 4, and so on up to
ENTER, which plays C 5. Notes are sent to the K2vxÕs sound engine on the current MIDI
channel.
Pressing the Up or Down cursor buttons while holding CANCEL will transpose up or down an
octave while using this feature. This transposition will be remembered the next time you use
this feature, but does not affect the K2vxÕs normal MIDI transposition.
Notes are played at approximately the mf velocity level. You can adjust the attack velocity of
the notes using the Plus/Minus buttons while holding down the CANCEL button. The velocity
values will continue to change if you hold the buttons down.
You can press the Right cursor button while holding CANCEL to sustain notes (if this doesnÕt
work, set a value of Sustain for the FtSw1 parameter on the MIDI mode XMIT page). The Left
cursor button will release notes.
