Quick Access Mode and the
Quick Access Editor
In Quick Access mode, you can select programs or setups with a single press of an
alphanumeric button (or with the other data entry methods). For example, in the illustration
below, you would simply press "5" on the alphanumeric pad to choose "FM Harmonica,".
Notice that your selection becomes highlighted in the list, as well as appearing on the line just
above the soft button labels.

Using Quick Access mode involves selecting Quick Access banks from the list of factory preset
or user-programmed banks. This can be done by using the bank selection shortcut: press the +/
- or CLEAR button on the alphanumeric pad, and youÕll be prompted to enter a bank number.
Type the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press ENTER. The bank will be
selected, and youÕll return to the Quick Access page. Or use the CHAN/BANK buttons to scroll
through the QA banks.
Each bank contains ten memory slots, or entries, where you can store programs or setups in any
combination. Any program or setup in the currently selected bank can be selected with the
numeric buttons 0 through 9.
The ROM (factory preset) QA banks are organized into useful groupings of sounds that we
think youÕll Þnd convenient.
You can store 20 Quick Access banks in each memory bank (except the Zeros bank, which can
store 75). See ÒStoring Objects in Memory BanksÓ in Chapter 2 of the
Reference Guide for a
breakdown of the Quick Access bank IDs that belong in each memory bank. Press both
CHAN/BANK buttons simultaneously to quickly move between memory banks.
The MIDI Program Change commands that the K2vx sends when in Quick Access mode can
differ from those in Program or Setup mode. This depends on the setting you have for the
PChgType parameter in MIDI mode. If the setting is ÒExtendedÓ or ÒKurzweil,Ó the Program
Change commands sent are the same as in Program or Setup mode. If the setting is ÒQA
ExtendedÓ or QA Kurzweil,Ó the K2vx will send Program Change commands that correspond
to the current Quick Access bank and the entry you select, not the actual program number of
the entry. See ÒProgram Change FormatsÓ in Chapter 10.
