MIDI Mode
Press the MIDI-mode button to enter MIDI mode. There are three pages in MIDI mode:
¥ TRANSMIT (XMIT soft button)
¥ RECEIVE (RECV soft button)
¥ CHANNELS (CHANLS soft button)
YouÕll use these pages to determine what MIDI messages the K2600 transmits, and how it
responds to the MIDI messages it receivesÑas well as how each MIDI channel behaves.
When you enter MIDI mode, youÕll see one of the three available MIDI-mode pages. When you
exit MIDI mode, the K2600 remembers which page you were on. The next time you select MIDI
mode, that page appears.
The TRANSMIT Page
Press the XMIT soft button, and the TRANSMIT page appears. Use these parameters to control
how the K2600 sends MIDI information to its MIDI Out port. These settings to some extent affect
the K2600Õs response to its own keyboard and controllers, but they primarily affect the
responses of other MIDI devices that are receiving MIDI from the K2600 on the channel
speciÞed with the Channel parameter on this page.
ItÕs important to remember that many of the settings of the TRANSMIT page are in effect only
when a
program is selected, either in Program mode or in Quick Access mode. If a setup is
selected, in Setup mode or in Quick Access mode, the setupÕs MIDI settings override the
corresponding settings on the TRANSMIT page. The TRANSMIT page looks like this:
