There are several ways to get audio output from the K2600. The most common conÞguration is a
pair of mono or stereo 1/4-inch cables connecting the Mix outputs of the K2600 to inputs on a
mixer or keyboard amp. The Mix outputs carry the sum of all the signals routed to the separate
analog outputs (AÐD), including effects. Another common conÞguration is to use one or more of
the separate analog outputs. Connecting to one of the separate outputs does not remove the
corresponding portion of the signal from the MIX outputs (for example, if you connect cables to
the A pair, youÕll get the Output A signal at both the A outputs and the Mix outputs).
The audio output routing of the K2600 depends primarily on two parameters:
¥ The Pair parameter on the OUTPUT page in the Program Editor; this routes the signal from
programs to Inputs AÐD in KDFX
¥ The Output parameters (AÐD) on the OUTPUT page in the Studio Editor; this routes the
KDFX output to the physical audio outputs (optionally bypassing KDFX, or adding effects
from the KDFX Aux bus)
In other words, individual programs route the audio signal from the K2600Õs sound engine into
the effects processor (KDFX), while the studios assigned to those programs route the signal from
KDFX to the jacks on the rear panel.
Of course, there are other options: you can set the value of the Outpair parameter (on the
CHANNELS page in MIDI mode) to
KDFX-A , KDFX-B , KDFX-C , or KDFX-D . If you set
Outpair for Channel 1 to KDFX-A , for example, then every program on Channel 1 sends its
audio signal from the sound engine to Input A of KDFXÑoverriding the programÕs routing.
You can also use the Out parameter on the CH/PRG page in the Setup Editor in the same way,
forcing each zone of a setup to send its output to a particular KDFX input, overriding the
settings of the programs in each zone.
Note : we recommend that you make the cable connection to the K2600 (or any instrument) after youÕve
made your other audio connections, since this reduces the chance of creating static electricity that can
cause an audible ÒpopÓ (and, in extreme cases, cause equipment damage).
