Confirm
ConÞrmations are special displays that the K2600 shows you when you are about to alter
memory permanently. The conÞrmations ask if you really want to do what youÕre about to do,
and give you another chance to cancel the operation youÕre about to execute. With the ConÞrm
parameter set to Off , these prompts do not appear. YouÕll still be alerted before doing something
that might cause you to lose your work, but your margin of error is slimmer with conÞrmations
turned off.

Intonation Key (IntonaKey)

This sets the tonic, or base note from which the currently selected intonation table calculates its
intervals. If you select G as the intonation key, for example, and the intonation table you select
tunes the minor 2nd down by 50 cents, then G
intonation. If you change the intonation key to D , then D
nonstandard intonations, youÕll want to change the intonation key as you change the key youÕre
playing in. If the Intonation parameter is set to Equal , changing IntonaKey has no effect.
You can also set the intonation key from an external MIDI device. Note On events at C -1
through B -1 (MIDI note numbers 0 through 11) will set the intonation key at C through B ,
respectively.
To trigger notes in the range required to set the Intonation key, you can transpose the K2600
temporarily from its front panel, or from your MIDI controller if it has the ability. Alternatively,
you could create a setup with just the lowest octave transposed down two octaves, then select it
when you want to change the Intonation key. If youÕre driving your K2600 from a sequencer,
you could simply insert the appropriate note events anywhere in the sequence to change the
intonation key.

The MAST2 page enables you to perform a hard reset of your instrument (this deletes
everything in RAM, so be careful!), and to turn the vocoder feature on and off.
The Vocoder
Vocoding is a special feature that allows you to use an input signal to control another audio
(slave) signal. Typically you would use a synthesizer for the input signal, although in fact you
can use any sound source. You must have the sampling option to be able to use the vocoder.
