FUNS
Programming the FUNs
between 0 and +1 as you push it up. When fully up, it sends a value thatÕs interpreted as +1. It
can be used as a bipolar control source by assigning a value of Bi-Mwl to any control source
parameter.
The Pitch Wheel is normally bipolar; it sends a control signal value thatÕs interpreted as 0 when
itÕs centered, values interpreted between 0 and -1 as itÕs pulled downward, and values
interpreted between 0 and +1 as itÕs pushed upward. It can be used as a unipolar control source
by assigning a value of AbsPwl to any control source parameter.
The FUNs can act as unipolar or bipolar control sources; it depends on the values of the input
signals and the nature of the function you choose. Depending on the function you choose to
process the input signals, the output signal value can exceed +1 or -1. Normally the signal
merely pins at +1 or -1; that is, it wonÕt go any higher or lower. In some cases, however, the
output signal value is wrapped around instead of pinning; weÕll mention these cases as we get
to them. You can assume that the output signal values of the functions listed below will pin at -1
or +1, unless speciÞed otherwise.
Programming the FUNs
Start by entering the Program Editor, then use the soft buttons to select the FUN page. Setting up
a FUN as a control source is a two-step process: assigning a FUN as the value for one or more
control source parameters in the Program Editor, then programming the FUN on the FUN page,
by assigning control sources to two inputsÑa and b, and choosing a function (equation) that
will process the combined signals from Input a and Input b.

There are four FUNS; you can combine and process four different pairs of control source signals.
FUNs 1 and 3 are always local, that is, they affect each note in their respective layers
independently. FUNs 2 and 4 are local by default, but they can be made global by setting a value
of On for the Globals parameter on the COMMON page in the Program Editor. A global FUN
affects all notes in its layer equally and simultaneously.
The best way to understand the use of the FUNs is to set up a simple test model, then plug in the
different equations and listen to their effects. WeÕll walk you through the programming of a
FUN and assigning it to control pitch. Then you can scroll through the list of equations at your
leisure.
Start in Program mode and select Program 199. Press Edit to enter the Program Editor. Select the
KEYMAP page, and change the keymap to 152 Dull Sawtooth. Then select the PITCH page, and
assign a value of FUN1 for the Src1 parameter (a shortcut is to press 1, 1, 2, Enter on the
alphanumeric pad). Select the Depth parameter and change the value to 1200 cents. Next, select
the FUN page, and select the Input a parameter for FUN1. Assign a value of MWheel (the
quickest way is to hold the K2600Õs Enter button and move your MIDI controllerÕs Mod Wheel).
Next, select the Input b parameter for FUN1, and assign a value of Data. This assumes your
MIDI controller either has a data slider, or a programmable control that you set to send Data
messages (MIDI 06). If you donÕt have a data slider or a programmable control, you can set the
value of Input b to AbsPwl, and use your Pitch Wheel to control Input b. If you do this, youÕll
