MIDI Mode
Press the MIDI-mode button to enter MIDI mode. There are three pages in MIDI mode:
¥
TRANSMIT (XMIT soft button)
¥
RECEIVE (RECV soft button)
¥
CHANNELS (CHANLS soft button)
YouÕll use these pages to determine what MIDI messages the K2600 transmits, and how it
responds to the MIDI messages it receivesÑas well as how each MIDI channel behaves.
When you enter MIDI mode, youÕll see one of the three available MIDI-mode pages. When you
exit MIDI mode, the K2600 remembers which page you were on. The next time you select MIDI
mode, that page appears.
The TRANSMIT Page
Press the XMIT soft button, and the TRANSMIT page appears. Use these parameters to control
how the K2600 sends MIDI information to its MIDI Out port. These settings to some extent affect
the K2600Õs response to its own keyboard and controllers, but they primarily affect the
responses of other MIDI devices that are receiving MIDI from the K2600 on the channel
speciÞed with the Channel parameter on this page.
ItÕs important to remember that many of the settings of the TRANSMIT page are in effect only
when a program is selected, either in Program mode or in Quick Access mode. If a setup is
selected, in Setup mode or in Quick Access mode, the setupÕs MIDI settings override the
corresponding settings on the TRANSMIT page. The TRANSMIT page looks like this:

  • Page 3: Velocity Map-Transmit (Velocmap)

    MIDI Mode The TRANSMIT Page Patch Thru featureÑalso known as Play Thru, and Soft ThruÑis on. This will prevent the K2600Õs MIDI signal from looping back on itself, which can cause problems. If you deactivate your sequencerÕs Patch Thru feature, set the Control parameterÕs value to Both , and the K2600 will play normally.

  • Page 4: Buttons (Bttns)

    MIDI Mode The TRANSMIT Page Buttons (Bttns) If you set the value of the Buttons parameter to On , the System Exclusive (SysEx) messages generated by your button presses are sent to the MIDI Out port. This enables you to do two things: control a remote K2600 (or earlier model), and record sequences of programming button presses to a sequencer or SysEx software package.

  • Page 5: The Receive Page

    MIDI Mode The RECEIVE Page The RECEIVE Page Press RECV to select the RECEIVE page, where you deÞne the K2600Õs response to incoming MIDI signals (with one exception pertaining to Quick Access mode, which weÕll explain later).

  • Page 6 MIDI Mode The RECEIVE Page All Notes Off If this parameterÕs value is set to Normal, the K2600 responds to All Notes Off messages received over MIDI. Ignore causes these messages to be ignored. If youÕre using a Roland product as a MIDI controller for your K2600, youÕll want to set the value of this parameter to Ignore.

  • Page 7: Bend Smooth

    MIDI Mode The RECEIVE Page Bend Smooth This parameter can improve your K2600Õs performance when youÕre driving it from a MIDI guitar controller. Its default value is On. You may Þnd that pitch bending seems to carry over from the previous note to the next note, causing it to start on the wrong pitch.
  • Page 8 MIDI Mode The RECEIVE Page This enables you to receive the messages listed in the Þrst column of Table 10-1 from a MIDI source, and remap them to whatever values are available for the parameters listed in the second column. The third column lists the Studio-editor page where each parameter appears. Note that when the Large Ribbon is conÞgured in one section, you cannot remap incoming MIDI Controller messages through it.

  • Page 9: Bank Select

    MIDI Mode The Channels Page Bank Select BankSelect allows you to choose between having the K2600 respond to Controller 0 or Controller 32 or both. The reason for this is that various manufacturers have chosen one method or the other. The four possible values for this parameter are: 0 only Responds to controller 0 only.

    Bank Change controller or the double-program-change method. In a nutshell, the difference between the Extended setting and the Kurzweil setting is this: In Extended, the K2600 will receive and respond to the Bank Change controller. When set to Kurzweil, the K2600 will receive only the double-program-change method.
  • Page 13 K2600 to respond predictably to the controller. (YouÕll have to select higher-numbered programs from the K2600Õs front panel) Of course, you could use the Kurzweil format, but in many cases youÕll have to send two program change commands to get the program you want.

  • Page 14: Quick Access Banks-Extended (Qa Ext)

    MIDI Mode Program Change Formats Quick Access Banks—Extended (QA Ext) Using this setting is similar to using the Extended program change format, but it goes one step further. Incoming program change commands are interpreted just as they are in the normal Extended format.

    PCH: value 44 No change; MC 0 or 32 value 2 is invalid in 200s bank. Quick Access Banks—Kurzweil (QA Kurz) This works almost exactly like the QA Ext format. The only exception is that within the QA Kurz format, the K2600 expects the bank range command to be a PCH, and not MC 0 or 32.

    MIDI Mode Program Change Formats GM programs. When you load the Þles (actually one Þle split over two ßoppies), the K2600 loads the programs into the memory bank you select, and also loads them into Quick-Access banks, with the programs ordered so that they respond correctly to Program Change commands.
