Chapter 4
Setup Mode
To enter Setup Mode, press the Setup button. Its LED lights to indicate that the panel
controls are in Setup Mode. If the LCD display is showing an edit page of the current mode,
it will be necessary to exit to that modeʹs base page (mode LED on continuously) before the
Setup Mode button will be recognized. When in Setup Mode, the KME-61 is a 3-zone
instrument playing up to 3 different internal sound programs at once and perhaps more if an
external module is connected. The zones may overlap or not without restriction. This means
that you can split and layer the zones. Each zone has a number of parameters associated
with it which may be edited. These edited parameter values may then be saved as one of 16
User Setups and recalled at a later time. There are also 16 permanent ʺFactory Setupsʺ.
If Setup Mode is reentered after having been in Program or MIDI Mode, the current setup
changes to that which was selected when Setup Mode was last exited. The mute status of its
zones (see below) is also remembered.

Setup Mode Base Page

The Setup Mode Base LCD page looks similar to this:

Selecting Setups

While the current setup is not being edited, different setups may be freely selected by using
the User Setups and Factory Setup buttons in the right part of the front panel. The 16 User
Setups buttons select one of the 16 User-created Setups. The 8 Factory Setups buttons select
one of the 16 factory-created preset setups. The first 8 of these (1-8) are indicated by red and
the second 8 (9-16) are indicated by green. Selection and changing the color works just like
Program Mode.
While the Setup Mode Base Page is displayed, the + and - buttons can be used to sequence
through the different setups, factory setups first then user setups.
"FS01" or "US01" are abbreviations of Factory Setup and User Setup, respectively. For the
factory setups, a name is displayed. For the user setups, the setup is identified by its letter
code, A-P.
