Velocity Map-Transmit (Velocmap); Pressure Map-Transmit (Pressmap); Program Change (Pchng) - Kurzweil K2600 - MUSICIANS GUIDE REV A PART NUMBER 910330 CHAP 10 Manual

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. Also, you may want to set the value of the LocalKbdCh parameter to None
when you have a MIDI loop, because you can have problems with doubled notes and MIDI
overload. You wonÕt have problems, however, as long as the channels transmitted by the K2600
are all different from the incoming MIDI channel.
A value of Local disables the MIDI Out port. Use this setting when you want to play the K2600,
but not to send any MIDI information to other MIDI instruments (local control only). A value of
Both (the default) enables you to play the K2600 and send MIDI information from its MIDI Out
port.
Velocity Map—Transmit (VelocMap)
The transmit velocity map affects the way the K2600 sends velocity information to its MIDI Out
port. Different maps generate different velocity values for the same attack velocityÑthat is, they
apply different curves to the attack velocities the K2600 receives and remap them to new
velocities before transmitting them to the MIDI Out port.
Important: The MIDI velocity maps affect only those MIDI velocity values transmitted via the
K2600Õs MIDI Out port, and are used exclusively to adjust the response of MIDI devices
connected to the Out port. If you have a DX7 connected to your K2600, for example, and the DX
is distorting, selecting a transmit Velocity Map like Hard2 should handle the problem. Changing
the velocity map on this page does not affect the response of the K2600Õs sound engine to its
own keyboard, or to an external MIDI controller. ThatÕs done on the RECEIVE page. See
Chapter 18 if youÕre interested in editing velocity maps.
Also important: Both the transmit and receive velocity maps should be left at values of Linear
unless you really need to change them. The linear maps give you the most consistent results.
If you have a keyboard model of the K2600, keep in mind that the setting of the Veltouch
parameter in Master mode also has an effect on the transmit velocity map.
Pressure Map—Transmit (PressMap)
This is like the VelocMap, but it controls the aftertouch values sent by the K2600 to its MIDI Out
port. Use this exclusively to adjust the response of MIDI devices connected to the K2600Õs MIDI
Out port. Changing the pressure map on this page does not affect the response of the K2600Õs
sound engine to its own keyboard, or to an external MIDI controller. ThatÕs done on the
RECEIVE page. See Chapter 18 for information about editing pressure maps.

Program Change (PChng)

When On, the K2600 sends program change commands to its MIDI Out port when you select
programs or setups from the front panel or from your MIDI controller. Select a value of Off
when you want to change programs on the K2600 but donÕt want to send program change
commands to the MIDI Out port. This parameter doesnÕt affect the type of program change
command thatÕs sent; it just determines whether any command is sent at all. (The type of
program change command is determined by the settings for three parameters on the CH/PRG
page in the Setup Editor.)
