Mode Selection
Mode Selection
The K2600 is always in one of eight primary operating modes. Select a mode by pressing one of
the mode buttonsÑon keyboard models theyÕre to the left of the display, and on the rack-mount
model theyÕre the lower row of buttons under the display. Each mode button has an LED that
lights to indicate the current mode. Only one mode can be selected at a time.
Program mode Select and play programs, and modify them with the Program Editor.
Rearrange and modify samples in the Keymap and Sample Editors.
Setup mode Select and play setups (eight keyboard zones with independent MIDI
channel, program and control assignments), and modify them with the
Setup Editor.
Quick Access mode Select from a list of preset banks, each containing a list of ten programs
and/or setups that can be viewed in the display for easy selection.
Modify the preset banks and create your own with the Quick Access
Editor.
Effects mode DeÞne the behavior of the on-board global effects processor. Modify the
preset effects and create your own with the Effects Editor.
MIDI mode DeÞne how your K2600 sends and receives MIDI information, and
conÞgure each channel to receive independent program, volume, and pan
messages that override the normal Program-mode settings.
Master mode DeÞne performance and control characteristics for the entire K2600.
Song mode Use the K2600Õs sequencer to record and play back your keyboard
performance, play Type 0 and Type 1 MIDI sequences, and record multi-
timbral sequences received via MIDI.
Disk mode Interface with the K2600Õs ßoppy disk drive, an external SCSI device, or
an optional internal SCSI disk to load and save programs, setups,
samples, and more.
There are two more modes that donÕt have dedicated buttons on the front panel: Sample mode
and Live mode. In Sample mode, you can create and edit samples (if you have the sampling
option). To get to Sample mode, press the Sample soft button in Program, Setup, Quick Access,
or Master modes. See Chapter 14 for details.
Live mode lets you route an input signal through the K2600Õs DSP algorithms. See page 14-41.
Mode Buttons
The mode buttons are labeled in white. When you press a mode button, its LED lights up to
indicate that the mode has been selected. If pressing a mode button does not light its LED, press
the Exit button one or more times, then try again.
The colored labeling for each mode button indicates special functions that relate to some of the
K2600Õs editors. These functions are described on page 5-7.
