Kurzweil KDFX, Manual

Page: 67 / 164

Real-time Control of KDFX
Using KDFX live from the K2500 keyboard
4-11
Note that when you are in Setup mode, this Control Setup is ignored, in favor of the controller
settings within the Setup itself. If you happen to go into MIDI mode from Setup mode, the
K2500 automatically
goes out of Setup mode and into Program mode, and the settings in the
Control Setup on the display go into effect.
Editing the Control Setup
You can change the parameters of the current Control Setup, and save your settings into the
same Control Setup or a new one, so that you can have different Control Setups for different
playing environments. Different Control Setups for Program mode can
only be called up from
this pageÑthe Control Setup doesnÕt change when you change Programs, and the Control
Setup on this page will always be active whenever you are in Program mode.
On the MIDI:Transmit screen, select the name of the Control Setup and press Edit . You will see
a group of parameters pertaining to the current Control Setup. Press more> and youÕll see a
series of soft buttons pertaining to the sliders, footswitches and control pedals:
<more| | SLIDER | SLID/2 | FOOTSW | CPEDAL | more>
press more> again and youÕll see the pages for the ribbons, wheels, switches, and pressure:
<more| | RIBBON | WHEEL| | SWITCH | PRESS| | more>
See Table 4-1 in the previous section for the customary Destination settings for all of the various
real-time controls.
From within the Setup Editor you can also Rename and Save the Control Setup. Press more> or
<more until you come to the appropriate pages.
Unlike a Performance Setup, a Control Setup only affects the real-time operation of the on-
board controls and arpeggiator, and
nothing else Ñnot programs, internal effects, or KDFXMods.
But because it is a ÒSetupÓ, it has all of these other parameters in it, and you may well wonder
what youÕre supposed to do about them when you are working on a Control Setup. The answer
is:
Ignore them ! They have no meaning when the Setup is being used as a Control Setup in
Program mode.
A perverse question
So what happens when the K2500 is in Program mode, and the FX Mode is ÒSetupÓ? ThereÕs
really no reason why you should ever be in this situation, but for the perverse among you who
want to try it, the Studio and FXMods that are in effect will be those that are in the Setup which
is displayed when or if you put the K2500 into Setup mode. This is generally the
last Setup called
when the K2500 was in Setup modeÑbut even if youÕve never used a Setup in your life, thereÕs
still one in there, as you can see if you go to Setup mode. Hey, you asked.
