MIDI Mode
The Receive (RECV) Page
10-7
The controllers listed in the second column correspond to the control source parameters on the
MIDI XMIT page and in the Setup Editor. When you’re in Program mode, the values that
you’ve set for these six parameters on the MIDI mode XMIT page determine what control
message gets sent to the K2500 and to its MIDI Out port when the K2500 receives the control
messages in the first column. When you’re in Setup mode, the values for these same six
parameters on the Setup Editor page determine which control signal is sent.
Here’s a more specific example. Suppose your MIDI controller transmits on MIDI channel 1,
and you’ve set the LocalKbdCh parameter to a value of 1. You’ve also set the value of the
ModWhl parameter on the Setup mode page to a value of Volume (MIDI 07) for each setup
zone. Then you’ve selected a setup that uses MIDI channels 1, 2, and 3. When you send a
Modulation message (MIDI 01) from the MIDI controller, you’ll affect the K2500’s volume
(unless the VolLock parameter for Channel 1 is on), and the K2500 will send a Volume message
to its MIDI Out port, on channels 1, 2, and 3.
Bank Select
"BankSelect" allows you to choose between having the K2500 respond to Controller 0 or
Controller 32 or both. The reason for this is that various manufacturers have chosen one
method or the other. The four possible values for this parameter are:
0 only - transmits and responds to controller 0 only.
32 only - transmits and responds to controller 32 only.
Ctl 0 - transmits 0 and responds to 0 or 32.
Ctl 32 - transmits 32 and responds to 0 or 32.
Power Mode
"Power Mode" has two possible values: User and Demo. When set to User, the user’s parameter
settings are retained. When set to Demo the parameters are returned to default values when the
unit is powered up. The default value for the Power Mode parameter is User.
The following parameters are reset when Power Mode is set to Demo; default values for the
parameters are shown in parentheses.
Master Mode - Drum Channel (1)
MIDI Transmit - Control (Both)
Effects Mode - FX Mode (Auto)
FX Chan (Current)
Disk Mode - Current Disk (Floppy)
The unit also remembers what channel you were on and any octave transpose value (it used to
return to channel 1 and 0 transpose).
