MIDI Mode
Program Change Formats
10-10
Output Gain (OutGain)
OutGain will boost or cut the level at the audio outputs for any program assigned to the
currently selected channel. This allows you to make a program louder or softer without having
to edit the program.
Parameter Locks
Program (PrgLock), Pan (PanLock), Volume (VolLock)
When the parameter locks are set to On, the three parameters they control will not respond to
their respective MIDI controller messages. In that case, you could change the Program, Pan,
and Volume settings from the front panel, but not via MIDI.
Program Change Formats
Straight out of the box, the K2vx has more programs than the MIDI program change
speciÞcation can handle (MIDI lets you send program change numbers from 0 to 127 or 1 to 128
only). So weÕve designed a system that makes program selection more ßexible. This is true
whether youÕre selecting programs from the K2vxÕs front panel, or via MIDI.
Program Change Type For use with:
0–127 Older MIDI devices that accept program change commands in the
range from 0–127 only.
Extended Other K2vxs (or K2500s) similarly set, plus all other instruments
that use the Bank Change controller
Kurzweil K1200s, and 1000s with version 5 software
QA Bank E Other K2vxs (or K2500s) similarly set, when in Quick Access
mode
QA Bank K K1200s and v5 1000s, when in Quick Access mode
QA 0–127 With the K2vx in Quick Access mode, when using it with older MIDI
devices
First of all, the K2vxÕs programs (and all of its objects) are numbered and grouped according to
a decimal system, that is, in multiples of ten. This is much easier to keep track of than the
binary-oriented groupings of many synths, which feature banks of 8, 16, or 64 programs.
Next, the K2vx gives you 999 program change numbers to work with. These are organized into
ten banks of 100 each (the memory banks). A programÕs object ID is its program change
number, as discussed in Chapter 5. This makes it easy to keep track of your programs. The
K2vx can use several different formats for interpreting Program change commands. The values
for the program change Type parameters on the XMIT and RECV page determine which format
is used, and the one you should select depends on your MIDI system.
If you expect youÕll always change programs from your K2vxÕs front panel, you can Þnish this
paragraph and skip the next few sections. In this case, selecting programs is as simple as
entering the program change number (the programÕs object ID) on the alphanumeric pad, and
pressing ENTER. Even program numbers above the usual MIDI limit of 127 can be selected this
way.
