Performance Controls
From your MIDI controller
The K2vx responds to attack velocity and release velocity, as well as mono and poly pressure
(aftertouch) messages. It will also respond to most standard MIDI control parameters; see
Ã’MIDI and Setup Control Parameters" below.
Volume knob
The Volume knob controls the volume at the MIX (stereo) audio outputs and at the headphone
jack. The individual outputs and MIDI volume are not affected by this knob.
MIDI and Setup Control Parameters
The K2vx responds to most standard MIDI control messages, including Pitch Wheel, Mod
Wheel, switch pedals, control pedals, and control sliders. The K2vxÕs response to these controls
is set on the XMIT (Transmit) page in MIDI mode, and works in conjunction with the Local
Keyboard Channel parameter on the RECV (Receive) page in MIDI mode. This is described
fully in Chapter 10. For now, youÕll probably Þnd that the K2vx responds predictably to most of
these controls. If you want to change its response, turn to Chapter 10 and read the section
covering the Local Keyboard Channel parameter.
You can also use the K2vx to relay control messages from your MIDI controller to other MIDI
devices connected to the K2vxÕs MIDI Out port. This is also controlled by the Local Keyboard
Channel parameter (MIDI RECV page) in combination with the settings for the control
parameters on the MIDI XMIT (transmit) page or the Setup mode page.
K2vx Boot Loader
The Boot Loader lets you install a new K2vx operating system and/or new K2vx ROM objects,
from a SCSI device or the ßoppy drive into ßash ROM. The Boot Loader also provides hard
reset and diagnostics options.
Note: Your K2vx comes from the factory with the operating system and ROM objects already installed.
You do not need to run the K2vx Boot Loader to start up a new K2vx.
Starting the Boot Loader
When you start the K2vx, it displays a "Please wait..." message and waits for approximately 2
seconds. Press and release the Exit key while the "Please wait..." message is displayed to start
the boot loader. Otherwise, the K2vx will start up normally.
The Boot LoaderÕs Menus resemble K2vx dialog boxes. That is, they consist of a series of labels
and a highlight bar that is used to select one of the labels. You can use the arrow keys to move
the highlight bar up, down, right, and left. Press the OK soft button to invoke the highlighted
menu option. Additionally, the data wheel and Enter key may be used to move the highlight
bar and invoke the selected action.
Boot-loader Main Menu:
When the boot loader is Þrst invoked, its main menu is displayed, as shown below.
