Version 2 Orchestral ROM Setups with Controller Assignments
A setup is a combination of eight zones, each having its own MIDI channel and controller
assignments. Designed initially for models with built-in keyboards, setups can be played on
K2500R via the Local Keyboard Channel feature: Find this parameter in MIDI mode on the
RECV page, change it from None to a channel of your choice, and set your controller to send on
only that channel. Now, any notes or MIDI controller data that come in on that channel will be
re-mapped according to the display channel (in program mode) and according to the setup (in
Setup mode).
To take advantage of Version 2's eight zone setup capability, there are 51 new setups in the
Version 2 Orchestral ROM Objects. You will find unique internal program combinations,
arpeggiator examples, and special ribbon and controller functions. With as many as 24
assignable controllers shared among 8 independent zones, K2500 MIDI setups can be quite
powerful, and they require some experimentation to find all their features and nuances. In
order to make this process easier, many setups are programmed according to the certain
conventions. The sliders generally provide mixing capabilities either as group faders or
individual zone faders. They also provide control over timbre, effects mix, and clock tempo.
Other conventions include:
