Real-time Control of KDFX

dynamically and smoothly, giving KDFX a high degree of flexibility in performance and
automation.
KDFX parameters can be controlled from the following
• The K2661’s sliders, wheels, ribbons, and pedals
• External MIDI sources like another controller or a sequencer
• Internal functions like LFOs, envelopes, and FUN generators
Real-time control of a studio is called effects modulation, and a link between a program or setup
and a studio parameter is called an FXMod.
Linking to Programs and Setups
If you’re familiar with real-time control of the K2661’s original internal effects, you’ll be happy
to know that real-time control of studios works the same way.
Real-time KDFX studio control normally originates within a program or setup. For the link
between a studio and a program to work, the FX Mode parameter on the Effects-mode page
must be set to Program. If you want to link a studio and a setup, the FX Mode parameter on the
Effects-mode page must be set to Setup. Setting the FX Mode parameter on the Effects-mode
page to Auto means that it will follow whatever mode the K2661 is in—Program or Setup—
which can be particularly useful when you are switching between programs and setups in a
Quick Access bank, or when you just don’t want to worry about which mode you’re in.
Notice that when FX Mode is set to Program or Setup, the studio is not shown, as it is when the
FX Mode is set to Master. So you can’t go into a studio and edit it from this page—you have to
go through the program or setup, from its KDFX page.
Note: When FX Mode is set to Auto, then FX Mode follows the K2661’s operating mode—it’s
either Program or Setup. When you are on this page, however, FX Mode is actually Master. But
don’t screw up your brain thinking about this—we’ll get back to it later in this chapter (KDFX in
Auto Mode on page 15-34).
For the sake of clarity, during most of this chapter we will talk about linking KDFX only with programs.
The procedures for linking KDFX to a setup are essentially identical, except for the setting of the
FX Mode.
