Audio Outputs
Audio Configurations
The K2vx features ten audio jacks, enabling you to route the K2vxÕs sounds through its own
internal effects processor, through an external effects device, or through combinations of the
two. Of course the K2vxÕs effects processor can be bypassed as well.
On the rear panel are a pair of stereo mix jacks (MIX L and R), and eight additional jacksÑ
A (L and R), B (L and R), C (L and R), and D (L and R). These can be conÞgured as four stereo
pairs or as eight separate outputs. Your audio conÞguration is determined by two factors. The
ÒhardwareÓ side has to do with which jacks you use and what kind of cables you connect to
them. The ÒsoftwareÓ side depends on the settings you make for parameters on the OUTPUT
page in the Program Editor, and on the Master mode page.
The simplest conÞguration would involve connecting the left and right MIX outputs directly to
a mixing board or keyboard ampliÞer. If youÕre using only one input to your sound system
from the K2vx, use the left MIX output for a mono signal. WeÕll assume for now that youÕre
using only the MIX outputs. The use of the separate outputs is discussed later in this chapter.
Note: we recommend that you make the cable connection to the K2vx (or any instrument) after
youÕve made your other audio connections, since this reduces the chance of creating static
electricity that can cause an audible "pop" (and, in extreme cases, cause equipment damage).
Using the MIX Outputs
If you plan to use the K2vxÕs global effects processor to add dimension to your sounds, youÕll
need to use the MIX outputs. The audio output to the separate outputs is always dryÑthat is,
the audio signal is sent to the separate outputs without passing through the global effects
processor. The MIX outputs and the headphone jack are the only jacks where the signal will
appear with effects.
The signal is routed using the OUTPUT page in the Program Editor. While in Program mode,
press the EDIT button, then press one of the <more> soft buttons until you see ÒOUTPUTÓ on
the displayÕs bottom line. Press the corresponding soft button, and the OUTPUT page will
appear. Set the value of the Pair parameter to A(FX) if you want the current layerÕs sound to be
routed through the effects processor before appearing at the MIX outputs.
A value of A(FX) means two things: Þrst, the layerÕs sound will appear with effects at the MIX
outputs, and second, that the layerÕs sound will appear
without
effects at the Group A outputs if
standard audio cables are inserted into the Group A output jacks. Set the value of the Pair
parameter to B(DRY), C(DRY), or D(DRY) if you want the layerÕs sound to appear without
effects at the MIX outputs. It will also appear at the Group B, C, or D outputs if standard audio
cables are inserted into the respective output jacks. Connecting audio cables to the separate
outputs will remove part or all of the signal from the MIX outputs. Be sure to set the output pair
for every layer in the program; each layer can be routed independently (use the CHAN/Bank
buttons to scroll through the layers). YouÕll also want to set the pan position for each layer
while youÕre on the OUTPUT page. Depending on the program youÕre working with, youÕll
have several different options for panning. See ÒThe OUTPUT PageÓ in Chapter 6 for an
explanation of these options. Also see ÒPANNERÓ in Chapter 14 to learn how to gain even more
control over a layerÕs pan position.
