Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
3-11
Let’s listen to our song with and without drums:
1. From the SongMode:MIX page, press the Play soft button. The song, with all of its
instruments, begins to play.
2. Press the Program mode button on the front panel of the K2000. The Program-mode LED
lights, and Track 1 (the drum track) is now muted.
3. Press the Program mode button again to unmute the drum track.
Using your K2000’s front panel buttons, you can mute one or more tracks at once, or even mute
eight tracks at a time.
With any luck, you’ve now completed your first song. You should now be ready to take on the
more advanced features of K2000 Song Mode that are described in the remainder of this chapter.
Tutorial: Arrangements
The Arrangement Editor gives you a variety of ways to record and play songs. The following
tutorial is designed to walk you through the steps of creating songs using the Arrangement
Editor. Here are some typical tasks:
• Record two or more songs, then string them together in any order, as steps in an
arrangement.
• Record additional tracks over the steps in an existing arrangement, saving the new tracks in
the arrangement song.
• Use up to 32 tracks for recording and playback.
• Trigger songs or arrangements by striking keys (or triggering notes from any MIDI
controller)—an excellent feature for live situations.
Creating an Arrangement
This involves recording and saving each section of your final piece of music as a separate song,
then using an arrangement to string together the sections in any order you choose. There are a
couple reasons you might want to do this.
