K2600 Vintage Electric Pianos User's Guide
Slider Assignments and KDFX V2
Here are a few of the guidelines which were used in determining control and slider assignments for the programs in Vintage EPs. These
general rules should make it relatively easy to adjust the most basic program settings when first scrolling and playing through the com-
plete set of sounds. Keep in mind that these are general rules , and there will be some exceptions. Refer to the table that begins on page
5 to view the complete controller assignment information for each program. For the rack version of the K2600, programs will respond
to MIDI messages sent on the corresponding MIDI channels for each slider listed below:
Controller
ModWheel
Data/MIDI 06 (Slider A)
MIDI 22 (Slider B)
MIDI 23 (Slider C)
MIDI 25 (Slider E)
MIDI 26 (Slider F)
MIDI 27 (Slider G)
MIDI 28 (Slider H)
MIDI 29 (Sw2)
The Vintage Electric Pianos ROM is the first K2600 sound set to make extensive use of KDFX V2 effects, and the programs were
greatly enhanced by the ability to "chain" multiple effects presets on a single KDFX bus. Thirty-one new KDFX studios are included
with Vintage EPs, and most of them use this powerful "effects-chaining" feature, which was not available in previous versions of
KDFX.
Since you can import studios from any program in the K2600, you may wish to use some of these new studios with other K2600 pro-
grams. To select a different studio for a program, press the ImpFX soft button while in program-edit mode, select a "target" program
containing the desired effects studio, then press Import . This imports the target's studio along with all of the FX Mods of the target pro-
gram. If it does not seem to work right away, go to the Common page, and select a different KDFX pair (usually A or B) for the pro-
gram.
