K-Mix’s “Mix bank” is where all of the audio-related functions happen; all of the
mixing, effect adjustments, and routing is done here. Section 4.2 –K-Mix Modes &
Mode Buttons [link] details all of the functionality of K-Mix’s Mix bank.

K-Mix has three “MIDI banks”. Each of these banks allow K-Mix’s faders, rotaries,
and buttons to output MIDI messages for controlling MIDI-capable hardware and
software.
When in any of the MIDI banks, the diamond pad buttons will output MIDI notes
when pressed. The specific MIDI notes can be set in the K-Mix Editor’s MIDI Tab .
