Playing the Presets
There are three things youÕll want to check out right away: programs, setups and Quick Access
banks. In performance situations, youÕll be selecting your sounds using one of these three
methods.
Programs
The K2vx powers up in Program mode, where you can select and play programs stored in
ROM
or
RAM
. Programs are preset sounds composed of one to three layers of samples or
waveformsÑtheyÕre called patches, voices, and presets on other instruments. If youÕve left
Program mode, just press the Program mode button to return.
Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the Program mode display. It gives you some helpful
basic information, like the MIDI transposition, what MIDI channel youÕre on, and which
program is currently selected. The box at the left of the display tells you which keymap is used
by each layer of the current program (a keymap is a collection of samples). The line under each
keymap name gives a rough indication of the keyboard range of the layer. In the Þgure below,
the Grand Piano keymap covers the full range from C 0 to C 8. You can change MIDI channels
with the Chan- and Chan+ buttons under the display. You can transpose by octaves by
pressing the Octav buttons under the display (if the LocalKbdCh parameter on the RECV page
in MIDI mode matches the transmitting channel of your MIDI controllerÑsee Chapter 10). The
bottom line of the display identiÞes the function of each of the buttons beneath the display.

When you want to change programs, you have several options. The K2vx has six different
settings for responding to MIDI program change commands. These are explained in Chapter
10, so we wonÕt go into them here. You should be able to change programs by sending program
change commands from your MIDI controller. Of course, you can always change programs
from the K2vxÕs front panel using the Alpha Wheel. Turning it left or right will scroll through
the program list. Press the View soft button to see the current program in large type. Press it
again to return to the normal view. You can also change programs using the cursor buttons, or
the Plus/Minus buttons under the Alpha Wheel. You can also use the CHAN/BANK buttons
or the cursor buttons while in Program mode.
Be sure to try whatever performance controls your MIDI controller has: the Pitch Wheel, Mod
Wheel, and switch or control pedalsÑdifferent programs respond to them in different ways.
Attack velocity and aftertouch also have varying effects. Check the tear-out sheets at the back of
this manual for lists of factory programs and setups. ThereÕs also a list of programs in the
Reference Guide
, describing how each program responds to speciÞc MIDI control messages.
If you donÕt hear anything, see the troubleshooting section in the
Reference Guide
.
Setups
Setups are preset combinations of programs. Each setup has three zones, each of which can be
assigned to any range of the keyboard (overlapping or split). Each zone can have its own
program, MIDI channel, and MIDI control assignments. You can make use of setups even if
your MIDI controller can transmit on only one MIDI channel at a time. See the
parameter
called
Local Keyboard Channel in Chapter 10.
