Contemporary ROM Programs with Controller Assignments
The 100 preset programs in the K2500 Contemporary ROM are organized by category. We hope you will find these
programs to be a good starting point for your own work. There are many ways to put expressivity and variety in a
single program by assigning MIDI controllers to the various DSP functions in its layers. This list describes how
each of the 100 factory preset programs can be modulated or altered by the various MIDI controls. Only those
controls which may not be immediately evident are listed. Controls such as attack velocity and keynumber are
understood to be assigned to most programs.
