The RECEIVE Page
All Notes Off
If this parameterÕs value is set to Normal, the K2600 responds to All Notes Off messages
received over MIDI. Ignore causes these messages to be ignored. If youÕre using a Roland
product as a MIDI controller for your K2600, youÕll want to set the value of this parameter to
Ignore. This is because some older Roland products occasionally send an All Notes Off message
when no keys are held downÑeven if youÕre sustaining notes with a pedal. You might Þnd all
your sustains missing from your sequence, for example, if youÕre driving your K2600 from one
of RolandÕs hardware sequencers. Setting this parameter to Ignore takes care of this problem.
Regardless of the setting for this parameter, the K2600 always responds to its own Panic button
by shutting off all active notes and controllers.
Program Change Type (ProgChgType)
This determines how the K2600 responds to program change commands received via MIDI. See
Program Change Formats on page 10-11 for an explanation of the various values available for this
parameter.
Velocity Map—Receive
The velocity map applies a preset curve to incoming velocity messages. It maps incoming
velocity levels to new levels that correspond to the eight dynamic levels used by the VTRIGs
and keymaps for velocity level selection. See Chapter 18. Normally youÕll leave this set to
1 Linear. Adjust this parameterÕs value only when you need to alter the K2600Õs response to the
velocity messages from a MIDI controller, for example, if youÕre getting too much or too little
volume when you play, or when youÕre using a sequencer to drive the K2600.
Pressure Map—Receive
Like the velocity map, this determines how the K2600 responds to incoming pressure
(aftertouch) messages.
System Exclusive ID (SysExID)
The SysExID parameter differentiates between more than one MIDI device of the same model.
You wonÕt need to change the default setting of 0 unless you have multiple K2600s (or K2500s or
K2000s) receiving SysEx messages from a single source. In that case, make sure each instrument
has a different SysExID. Then you can direct SysEx messages to the appropriate K2600 with the
SysExID byte thatÕs included with every SysEx message. A value of 127 speciÞes ÒOmni
Receive.Ó That is, at this value, a K2600 responds to a SysEx message regardless of the SysEx ID
of the message (as long as the manufacturer and device IDs matchÑsee Chapter 7 of the
MusicianÕs Reference for more information about System Exclusive messages).
SCSI ID
Use this parameter to change the SCSI ID of your K2600. You can ignore this parameter unless
youÕve connected a SCSI device (external SCSI disk or CD-ROM drive) to the K2600Õs SCSI port.
You can use either or both SCSI ports to chain up to seven SCSI devices to the K2600 (a total of
eight devices can be chained together); just be sure to set each one to a different SCSI ID. Most
SCSI devices available today make it easy to change their SCSI IDs, so you may not have to
adjust this parameter even if you have several SCSI devices connected. See Chapter 13 for more
information about using SCSI devices.
