Song Mode
WeÕve referred to the special aspects of KDFX in Song mode elsewhere in the manual. Here is a
summary of whatÕs been said, along with some additional information.
FX Mode in Song Mode
If FXMode on the Effects page is set to "Program", and you put the K2500 into Song mode,
control of KDFX will remain with the Program that is on the current FX Channel, as set on the
Effects page. However, if FX Mode is set to ÒAutoÓ, and you put the K2500 into Song Mode,
KDFX will now be in its own version of Song modeÑwhich means it will be under the control
of the Program that is on the Effect Channel
within the song. To set this channel from Song
mode, press Edit to go to the EditSong:COMMON page, and Þnd the EffectChan parameter.
The Effect Channel is saved with the song, so make sure that it is set so that the Program that
you want to be in control of KDFX is active on that channel.
Clock Setting for tempo-based parameters
The clock setting in Song mode determines how tempo (BPM)-based parameters behave. If you
are using the K2500Õs internal tempo clock, the
Clock parameter on the MISC page in Song
mode must be set to ÒIntÓ. If you are using an external MIDI timing source, such as a sequencer,
then that parameter must be set to ÒExtÓ. The ÒSyncÓ parameter does not affect tempo control
of KDFX, but it will determine whether KDFX events such as LFO resets will respond to MIDI
Start and Continue commandsÑsee Chapter 4 for more on this.
If you are using Tap Tempo as a tempo source, then the Clock parameter must be set to
ÒInternalÓ.
Recording a Setup in Song Mode
In order to record a Setup into the internal sequencer, you Þrst need to set the RecTrk
parameter on the MAIN Song page to ÒMultÓ. Then go back into Setup mode, and then into
Song modeÑthe current Setup will be displayed in the Song window. Then you need to make
sure the record channels that are addressed by the Setup (and only those record channels) are
record-enabled.
If you are using an external keyboard that sends on only one MIDI channel, you must also go to
the
Receive page in MIDI mode and turn on the LocalKbdCh parameter, setting it to agree
with the MIDI Out channel of your keyboard.
There is a complication, however, if you want to record KDFX Mods while youÕre recording
your track(s) using the Setup. The sequencer will faithfully record all of your controller
movements, but when it plays them back, it plays them as part of a single track. That track
contains a Program, not a Setup, because the sequencer doesnÕt know how to play Setups.
Since all of the KDFX Mods were part of the Setup, even though the data on the track is being
played back, itÕs not being sent to KDFX (although it might be affecting the Program on the
track), and so no KDFX Mods are being played.
The solution is to have a Program playing back the data youÕve just recorded, which has the
identical KDFX Studio and FXMods as the Setup you used to record with. The data has been
recorded on the MIDI channel of Zone 1 of the setup. Find the Program on that channel, press
Edit to get inside it, and then import the KDFX Studio from the Setup you used originallyÑ
thatÕs what the ImpFX function is for.
