Standard K2661 ROM Objects
The preset programs in the K2661 are organized by instrument category. You’ll fi nd a few
representatives of each instrument sampled, as well as synthesized instrument emulations,
commonly used synthesizer timbres, and templates for new programming. We hope you
fi nd it
a good starting point for your own work.
Groove Setups
Setups 1–30 are Groove Setups. Once you’ve installed the objects, you can access the setups by
pressing the
Setup button on the front panel of your K2661.
When you are playing a Groove Setup, you can activate a drum pattern (actually a song fi le) by
pressing any key below C3 (C below middle C). Once triggered, the drum pattern is
automatically held or latched (in other words, you do not need to keep holding the key down
for the groove to continue playing). Most grooves have a bass sound assigned to the left hand
keyboard region, as well as some sounds for right hand playing.
Use your K2661’s large ribbon to activate a fi ll for the groove. (There is one groove that does not
follow this convention, #2, where there is no fi ll on the ribbon. Instead, a 'toms fi ll' is activated
when you play between C3 and C4 on the keyboard.)
Note: After pressing panic , grooves won't trigger; you must scroll away and then back for the
setup to get the correct entry value.
