Song Mode and Sequencing
Song Mode: The MAIN Page
a track any time that there is incoming MIDI data on that track’s channel, even when song status
is STOPPED.
Track Status Indicators
Using the Up, Down, Left, and Right cursor arrows to position the cursor onto a Track Status
Indicator, you can toggle an empty track (–) into Record (R) with the Alpha Wheel or
Increment/Decrement buttons.
Once a track contains data, it will have a (P) as a Track Status Indicator, and it will be played
during playback. You now will be able to toggle between Play (P), Mute (M), and Record (R).
The track selected as the RecTrk will have an (R) in this field, designating it as the record-
enabled track. If the RecTrk is set to Mult, initially all empty tracks will have Record (R) as a
Track Status Indicator, any of which can be switched back to empty (–) if at any time recording
on specific tracks is not desired.
If there isn’t a track with an (R) in this field, the RecTrk parameter’s value will be None. (The
exception is when the RecTrk is set to Mult and you have switched all of the tracks out of record
enable.)
Track Channels
Each track has a MIDI Channel that it uses to receive and transmit data. By default, Tracks 1–16
of a new song are assigned to Channels 1–16, although a track can play or record on any channel
and the same channel can be assigned to more than one track. However, keep in mind that only
one program can be assigned to a channel at a time, so if you have more than one track assigned
to the same channel, they’ll play the same program.
Soft Buttons on the MAIN Page
The soft buttons on the MAIN page are like—but not exactly like—the transport controls on
many tape decks. The difference is that with the K2000, you don’t ever have to press more than
one button on a time (on some tape decks, for example, you must press the Play and Record
buttons simultaneously to record). In fact, it’s important to press the soft buttons on the MAIN
page one at a time, to ensure proper record start points, and desired song status.

Record
Changes the song status to REC|READY if the current song status is STOPPED. If the current
song status is PLAYING, it will be switched to RECORDING when you press Record.
If the RecTrk is set to None, pressing Record selects the first available empty track for recording,
thus setting the RecTrk to the newly record-enabled track number and placing an (R) in that
track's status display. Song status changes to REC|READY or RECORDING, depending on the
previous song status as described above.
Play
Plays back any recorded data when pressed while the song status is STOPPED. Playback begins
from the bar and beat specified in the Locate parameter.
When the Song Status is REC|READY, pressing the Play soft button begins recording.
