startup - a Quick Checklist
If hooking up new gear is familiar to you, and you just want to get going,
here is a quick description of all the basic things you need to cover to get
started with your K2000R. If you need more information, thorough descriptions
of each step follow.
2.18.2 Basic startup Checklist
• Mount your K2000R securely in a standard 19-inch MIDI rack, or set it on
a hard flat surface. Make certain to provide adequate ventilation room
above and below the unit.
• If placing on a flat surface, affix the four pads (included with the
rack mount brackets) to the bottom of the K2000R, one in each corner.
• If rack mounting, attach the rack mount brackets, one to each side, at
the front edge of the unit using the screws already on each side.
• Connect the power cable.
• Make sure your sound system is at a safe volume level.
• Plug in a pair of stereo headphones or run standard (1/4 inch) audio
cables from the MIX audio outputs to your sound system (us the MIX Lout
for mono) .
• Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out port of your MIDI controller to
the MIDI In port of the K2000R.
• Power up and play.
• If you hear distortion, reduce the gain on your mixing board, or use the
pad if it has one.
• Scroll through the Program list with the Alpha Wheel (the large knob to
the right of the display).
• If you MIDI controller can transmit on more than one MIDI channel, check
out Setup mode by pressing the Setup mode button. Then use the Alpha
Wheel to select tri-zone setups with independent programs, MIDI channels
and controller assignments in each zone.
• Press the Quick Access mode button and use the numeric keys to select
form programmable banks of ten programs or setups.
• Insert a program library disk into the floppy drive. Press the Disk
mode button, then scroll through the files with the Alpha Wheel. Press
"Load," then press "OK" twice. Then check out the programs numbered in
the 200s.
• If you do not hear any sound, review these steps, then check the
Troubleshooting section in Section 4.
