The Velocity Trigger (VTRIG) Page
Chapter 17 describes each of these functions, and provides a few diagrams to give you a hint of
the immense control (as well as some chaos) that these functions make possible.
The Velocity Trigger (VTRIG) Page
The velocity triggers base their operation on the attack velocity of each note you play. To use a
VTRIG, you simply set its velocity level (threshold), then set it to switch on or off when your
attack velocities exceed that threshold. Then assign it as a control source for some other
parameter. TheyÕre handy for triggering ASRs, for example.

The velocity triggerÕs level is expressed in terms of the standard dynamic markings of western
musicÑppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff. The K2600 converts each attack velocity value it
receives into one of these eight levels. When a velocity trigger has been assigned as a control
source, the K2600 compares the velocity triggerÕs level and sense with the attack velocity values
it receives. If the sense is Normal and the attack velocity value is greater than the velocity
triggerÕs level, the trigger switches on. When the velocity triggerÕs sense is reversed, the trigger
switches on when the attack velocities it receives are lower than the velocity triggerÕs level. Keep
in mind that you wonÕt hear the effect of editing the VTRIG page until youÕve assigned a VTRIG
as a control source for some other parameter.
The KDFX Page
This is where you assign a studio to be used with the current program (depending on the
settings for the FX Mode and FX Chan parametersÑsee FX Mode on page 9-4, and Effects
Channel (FX Chan) on page 9-5).
The KDFX page is the Þrst of four pages containing parameters that enable programs to control
their associated studios in real time. For example, you can create (or edit) a program that uses
the Mod Wheel or a slider to control the Wet/Dry mix of the signal that goes through FXBus1.
The possibilities are almost limitless.
There are 18 sets of these real-time studio-control parameters, which we call FXMods. Each
FXMod consists of Þve parameters. An important point to remember about FXMods is that they
are components of a program or a setup, and they donÕt permanently affect the studios they
control. They simply enable you to make real-time, temporary changes to the studio settings,
