User Interface Basics

This chapter will show you how to get around the front panel of your K2661. Your interactions can be divided into three primary operations: mode selection, navigation, and data entry. There is also an assignable control section.

Mode Selection

The K2661 is always in one of eight primary operating modes. Select a mode by pressing one of the mode buttons — they’re to the left of the display. Each mode button has an LED that lights to indicate the current mode. Only one mode can be selected at a time.

Program mode

Select and play programs, and modify them with the Program Editor.

 

Rearrange and modify samples in the Keymap and Sample Editors.

Setup mode

Select and play setups (eight keyboard zones with independent MIDI

 

channel, program and control assignments), and modify them with the

 

Setup Editor.

Quick Access mode

Select from a list of preset banks, each containing a list of ten programs

 

and/or setups that can be viewed in the display for easy selection.

 

Modify the preset banks and create your own with the Quick Access

 

Editor.

Effects mode

Define the behavior of the on-board effects. Modify the preset effects and

 

create your own with the Effects Editor.

MIDI mode

Define how your K2661 sends and receives MIDI information, and

 

configure each channel to receive independent program, volume, and pan

 

messages that override the normal Program-mode settings.

Master mode

Define performance and control characteristics for the entire K2661.
