There are several punctuation characters available as well, but they can be entered only with the 
Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons. The punctuation characters are between z (lower case) 
and 0.
Special Alphanumeric Buttonpad Functions
When you’re in Quick Access mode, the Alphanumeric buttonpad can be used to select the 
entries in the current Quick Access bank. The layout of the alphanumeric buttonpad 
corresponds to the layout of Quick Access bank entries as seen on the Quick Access-mode page.
There’s also a shortcut for selecting different QA banks while in QA mode. Just press the +/– or 
Clear button on the alphanumeric pad, and you’ll be prompted to enter a bank number. Type 
the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press Enter. The bank will be selected, and 
you’ll return to the Quick Access page.
You can also use the alphanumeric pad to select strings to search for in the currently selected list 
of objects, and to enter new strings to search for (see the Musician’s Guide.).
The Display
You may want to adjust the contrast and brightness of the display for different lighting 
conditions. There are two adjustment knobs on the rear panel of the K2661.
Solo Button
Mutes all zones in setup except the current one. The button of the zone being soloed glows red.
Mixdown Button
Brings up the Mixdown page, as shown in the following diagram. From this page you can 
choose how the K2661’s physical sliders function during MIDI mixdown. In the example below, 
Sliders A-H will control the volume level of MIDI channels 1-8. By pressing the Pan soft button, 
you would change the function of the sliders to control panning for channels 1-8; or, you could 
press the 9-16 soft button to have the sliders affect channels 9-16.
You can also use the cursor buttons to highlight the pan or volume control for a channel and use 
the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons to change the pan or volume level. In the screen below, 
for example, you could use the Alpha Wheel to control panning on channel 9 at the same time 
that you are using the sliders to control volume on channels 1-8.
