6. Press the Overwrt soft button. Confirm by pressing Yes twice.
The K2000 now loads all the new GM objects, including new samples and programs from
the disk. (This process will overwrite any RAM objects already stored in the K2000.)
You can now play GM sequences on your K2000. Do this either by hooking up your sequencer’s
MIDI OUT to the K2000’s MIDI IN, or by loading type 0 MIDI files into your K2000. When
loading a GM sequence into the K2000’s 200s or 300s bank, choose Append. Alternatively, you
can load the GM sequence into another available bank such as 400 or higher, which lets you
save your GM sequences without having to re-save the entire GM sound set as well.
Normal K2000 Mode versus GM Mode
When you load the GM sound set, the K2000’s normal master tables change as shown below:
Normal mode GM mode
Drum Channel = 1 Drum Channel = 10
Effects = Auto Effects = Master
Prog Change = Extended Program Change = QA 0-127
Prog Change Lock = Off Prog Change Lock = On
(Chan 10) (Chan 10)
Ignore All Notes Off = Off Ignore All Notes Off = On
Load the RESETMST file to re-initialize the K2000’s master tables back to Normal mode. You
can accomplish the same thing by performing a hard reset of the K2000, but this also removes
the GM sounds. Load AGENMIDI followed by RESETMST (make sure you select Append, and
not Overwrite) to restore the K2000’s Normal master tables without removing the GM sounds.
