Setup Mode

Even if your MIDI controller can transmit on only one MIDI channel at a time, you can use the
K2vxÕs setups by setting the Local Keyboard Channel parameter on the MIDI mode RECV page
to match the channel youÕre using to transmit from your MIDI controller. This will enable you
to play the setupÕs three zones, and send the MIDI information from your MIDI controller to
the K2vxÕs MIDI Out port, on the channels used by the current setup. See the discussion of the
Local Keyboard Parameter in Chapter 10.
Selecting performance setups in Setup mode is much like selecting programs in Program
modeÑjust use one of the normal data entry methods to scroll through the list of setups.
Standard program changes will select the correspondingly numbered setups while the K2vx is
in Setup mode (if the Local Keyboard Channel matches the transmit channel of your MIDI
controller). Setups enable you to use three keyboard (MIDI controller) zones, each of which can
have its own program, MIDI channel, and control assignments. You can store 100 setups in each
memory bank.

Enter Setup mode by pressing the Setup mode button. YouÕll see a list of setups that you can
scroll through with any data entry method. Press the ÒViewÓ soft button to see the currently
selected setup in large-type display. Press it again to return to the normal view. You can
transpose the entire setup up or down with the two Octav soft buttons (as long as the Local
Keyboard Channel matches the transmission channel of your MIDI controller). Press them
simultaneously to set the transposition back to zero. When you transpose a setup, the split
points between zones remain in place; each program is transposed within its respective zone.
The box at the left side of the display shows you the programs assigned to the three zones in the
currently selected setup, and the MIDI channels on which theyÕre being transmitted. The lines
beneath the program names represent the approximate note range of each zone, and let you
know whether the three zones overlap.
When you select a setup in Setup mode, the K2vx sends Program Change commands to its
MIDI Out port, on each of the MIDI channels used by the setup. The values of these Program
Change commands depend on the setting you have for the PChgType parameters in MIDI
mode. See ÒProgram Change FormatsÓ in Chapter 10.
