Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
2. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor over Track 3’s volume level fader on the
SongMode:MIX page.
Although the tracks aren’t numbered on the SongMode:MIX page, they are laid out
logically: left-to-right, from 1 through 16 consecutively. Track 3, then, is the third track
from the left.
3. Use the Alpha Wheel to turn down the volume of the track by changing the position of the
Volume slider.
4. Press the Keep soft button and confirm the change.
Now when you play back the song, Track 3’s volume will start playing at the newly set
level.
You can also record real-time volume and pan changes from the MIX page or enter
numeric values for these parameters on the MAIN page.
Using the Mode Buttons to Mute a Track
Finally, we’ll take a quick look at the track mute feature, which lets you use the K2000’s mode
buttons to mute individual tracks during song playback. This can be invaluable during
mixdown.
You may have noticed a horizontal line underneath the sliders for tracks 1–8 on the
SongMode:MIX page. As the illustration below shows, this is the Quick-Mute Track Bank
Indicator, showing which bank of eight tracks will respond to the eight track-mute buttons on
the front panel of the K2000. The track-mute buttons are the eight mode buttons (Program,
Setup, etc.); press one of these buttons while you are on the SongMode:MIX page and playing a
song, and the associated track will be muted.
Use the M 1-8 / M 9-16 soft button to determine which tracks are affected by the mode buttons:
either 1–8 or 9–16. In the preceding display, Tracks 1–8 are affected by the mode buttons, and the
M 1-8 / M 9-16 soft button displays M 9–16. If you press this soft button, the Quick-Mute Track
Bank Indicator moves to indicate Tracks 9–16, and the soft button changes to display M 1–8.
The following table shows how the mode buttons affect track muting, depending on which
bank of tracks is selected.
