Quick Access
A really convenient way to select programs and setups is to use Quick Access mode, where you
select a Quick Access
bank from a list of factory preset or user-programmed banks. Each bank
contains ten memory slots, or entries, where you can store any combination of programs or
setups. While youÕre in Quick Access mode, any program or setup can be selected with the
numeric buttons 0 through 9.
The K2vx comes with a few Quick Access banks already programmed so you can get an idea of
how they work. YouÕll probably create your own Quick Access banks to help you select
programs and setups with a minimum of searching. Press the Quick Access mode button to the
left of the display. Its LED lights, to tell you youÕre in Quick Access mode. YouÕll see a display
that looks like this:

The top line of the display tells you which Quick Access bank is selected. Use the CHAN/
BANK buttons (to the left of the display) to scroll through the banks. The names of each of the
ten entries in the bank are listed in the center of the display. Many of their names will be
abbreviated. The currently selected entryÕs full name is shown near the bottom of the display.
The amount of transposition is displayed to the left of the entry name. If the current entry is a
program, youÕll see the current keyboard (MIDI) channel displayed to the right of the entryÕs
name. If itÕs a setup, youÕll see the word ÒSetup.Ó
The entries on the Quick Access page are arranged to correspond to the layout of the numeric
buttons on the alphanumeric pad. On the page above, for example, the program ÒSINK
MONSTAÓ is entry 5, and can be selected by pressing 5 on the alphanumeric pad.
The Panic button (the button below the word ÒPanicÓ in the bottom line of the display) will
send an All Notes Off and an All Controllers Off message to the K2vx, and over all 16 MIDI
channels. Press the View button to show the currently selected bank entry in large type. Press it
again to return to the normal view.
When youÕre ready to create your own Quick Access banks, turn to Chapter 8 to learn about the
Quick Access Editor.
