Destination
This parameter determines whether the currently selected zone transmits only to the K2600
(Local), gets sent only via MIDI (MIDI), controls both the K2600 and connected MIDI
instruments (Local+MIDI), or is disabled (Off). Setting Destination to Off turns the zone off
completely; no MIDI data will be sent and no local program will sound.
MIDI Bank Mode
The MIDI Bank mode you choose determines how bank numbers will be sent over MIDI when
the setup is selected, and in what format. It also affects how many MIDI banks and programs
you can choose.
None means no bank number is sent, just the program number. Ctl 0 means that the bank
number is sent as a MIDI Controller #0 message. Ctl 32 means it is sent as MIDI Controller #32.
Ctl 0/32 means it is sent as a dual-controller (two-byte) message, with the most-signiÞcant byte
(MSB) of the bank number sent as Controller #0 and the least-signiÞcant byte (LSB) as
Controller #32. Single-byte Bank Select messages (either 0 or 32) allow you to specify banks
numbered 0-127. Two-byte messages allow you to specify banks numbered 0-16,383. With 128
programs per bank, this allows you to access 2,097,152 different programs on one instrument.
The MIDI SpeciÞcation is a little ambiguous when it comes to Bank Select messages, as to
whether they should be only Controller 0, only Controller 32, or both Controllers sent as a pair.
Different manufacturers design their instruments to respond to different schemes, and if you
send Bank Select in a form an instrument doesnÕt like, it may ignore it or interpret it incorrectly.
The MIDI Bank Mode parameter is designed to allow the greatest ßexibility in addressing other
MIDI instruments. Usually you can look on the MIDI Implementation chart in the userÕs manual
of an instrument to determine how itÕs designed to receive Bank Select messages, and then set
MIDI Bank Mode for each zone to suit the instrument that is receiving data from it. The default
setting, which works with the largest number of other instruments, is Ctl 32.
There are two other values for this parameter, which will be of special interest to owners of other
Kurzweil instruments. A value of K2000 is intended for use with the K2000, K2500, or K2600.
The Bank Select message is sent as Controller 32, with a value between 0 and 9. Remember, the
K2000, K2500, and K2600 support only 10 banks, with 99 programs per bank, so Program
Changes 100 or higher are sent as Bank Select 1, followed by the last two digits as a Program
Change. For example, if Program 124 is assigned to the zone, this will be sent out the MIDI Out
port as Bank Select (Controller 32) 1, and then Program Change 24.
K1000 is intended for use with any of the 1200-series keyboards or modules, or any of the
1000-series instruments that have version 5 software installed. Those instruments predate the
adoption of standard Bank Select messages; instead, they use Program Changes 100Ð109 as Bank
Selects. If you select Bank 5: Program 42 for a K2600 zone, for example, it will send out Program
Change 105 followed by Program Change 42. K2600 program numbers over 99 are not sent.
Entry Program Change (EntryProgChg)
This enables or disables bank and program change commands sent to internal programs or to
the MIDI Out jack when you select setups. If itÕs set to On, the program numbers for the
programs in the eight zones will be sent via MIDI when a setup is selected. By setting this
parameter to Off, you can select a setup on the K2600 without changing the internal programs
or those on MIDI devices receiving from the K2600. This is useful if you want to send only
controller data to the K2600 or to MIDI devices, without changing program assignments.
