Special Keyboard Functions
This section describes the buttons and sliders that are unique to the keyboard models of the
K2500. Features common to both rack and keyboard models are described starting on page 1-1.
Solo button
Mutes all zones in Setup except the current one. The button of the zone being soloed glows red.
Mixdown button
Brings up the Mixdown screen, as shown below. From this screen you can choose how the
K2500’s physical sliders will function during MIDI mixdown. In the example below, the
physical sliders A-H will control the volume level of MIDI channels 1-8. By pressing the
Pan
soft button, you would change the function of the physical sliders to control panning for
channels 1-8; or, you could press the
9-16
soft button to have the physical sliders affect channels
9-16.
You can also use the cursor buttons to highlight the pan or volume control for a channel and
use the alpha wheel or increment/decrement buttons to change the pan or volume level. In the
screen below, for example, you could use the alpha wheel to control panning on channel 9 at
the same time that you are using the physical sliders to control volume on channels 1-8.
