Program Mode and the Program Editor
Program mode is the heart of the K2vx, where you select programs for performance and
editing. The K2vx is packed with great sounds, but itÕs also a synthesizer of truly amazing
depth and ßexibility. When youÕre ready to start tweaking sounds, the Program Editor is the
place to start. But Þrst thereÕs a bit more general information about Program mode that wasnÕt
