Basic Effects Mode
Introduction
Effects mode puts the power of an entire studioÑequalizers, signal processors, and mixersÑ
inside your K2600. It allows you to deÞne processing functions, signal paths, and balances, on
sounds created by the K2600 and, in Live mode, sounds from
any
source.
When youÕre in Program, Setup, or Quick Access mode, you can take advantage of
FX Modulation routings (FXMods, which are preset overrides for studio parameters) for real-
time control over any aspect of your studioÑeither from the buttons, sliders, wheels, and pedals
on your K2600, or from any MIDI source at all, like a sequencer or a dedicated controller.
Effects mode provides up to Þve individual effects processors. Four of these are designed to
operate on their own individual buses, and the Þfth, the ÒAuxiliaryÓ processor, is designed to be
global.
When the K2600 is being used multi-timbrally, Effects mode can provide separate processors for
each of several instruments. For example, letÕs say four K2600 channels are in use, under the
control of a sequencer. Each instrument on each channel can have its own processing: ßanger for
the piano, delay for the sax, compression for the bass, and tight reverb for the drums. Then all of
these signals could go through a global Aux processor, where they could be given a room reverb.
At the outputs of the K2600, the reverb could show up on one pair, while the other instrumentsÕ
dry or processed (prereverb) signals could show up at the others, either in mono or stereo. Or
the entire mix, carefully balanced and panned, could appear at a single pair, ready to be
recorded or played through a PA.
