Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
4. Using the Song parameter, call up the song you just recorded. This makes your song a step
in the arrangement song, which you’re currently editing. Press Done to return to the
COMMON page.
5. Set the TrackDest parameter for each track to M, so that the arrangement song won’t also
play the K2000.
6. Save, then press Exit to return to the MAIN page in Song mode.
7. Record additional tracks as part of the arrangement song. You might have to record
programs changes in each track of the arrangement song to set up the external instrument
properly.
Triggering Arrangement Steps From the Keyboard
Each step in an arrangement can be triggered by playing a key (or triggering a note from any
MIDI controller). This can be great for live performance, because you can repeat each step as
many times as you like.
1. Go to the TRANSMIT page in MIDI mode, and assign a control setup that has a value of
On for the Sync parameter on the COMMON page of the Setup Editor. Create one if you
need to, and name it SongSetup. We’ll explain why shortly why you need to use this
control setup.
2. Go to Song mode, and create an arrangement, following Steps 1 through 6 of Creating an
Arrangement on page 3-11.
3. Go to the COMMON page in the Song Editor. There are two parameters on this page for
use with key triggering of steps:
TriggerChan: Notes on this MIDI channel can trigger the current step. Notes on any other
channels will not trigger the step. Set this to match the MIDI channel of the K2000 or
whatever controller you’re using to trigger the steps.
TriggerCtl: This determine if the keys will trigger the steps. Set this parameter to ON, so
when you hit the appropriate note on the trigger channel, the step will start playing. If
you set it to a MIDI Controller number that has a physical controller assigned to it, then
the keys will trigger the step only when the controller is on (for switch controllers) or
above its halfway point (for continuous controllers).
4. Press ARRANG, then press the CHAN/BANK Down button until you see Step 1 in the
top line of the display. Set the Mode parameter to a value of Stop.
5. Note the values for the LoKey and HiKey parameters, then set them to E 1 and E 2 by
doing the following:
• Press the SetRng soft button
• Strike E 1 on the K2000 or your MIDI controller
• Strike E 2
Note the new values for LoKey and HiKey. Now the current step starts playing when you
strike E 1. Strike another note (say E 2) while the step is playing, and on the first beat of
the next bar, the step repeats, and all the tracks that aren’t drum tracks get transposed up a
corresponding number of semitones (in this case, an octave). Generally, when you’re
