Standard K2661 ROM Objects

The preset programs in the K2661 are organized by instrument category. You’ll find a few representatives of each instrument sampled, as well as synthesized instrument emulations, commonly used synthesizer timbres, and templates for new programming. We hope you find it a good starting point for your own work.

Groove Setups

Setups 1–30 are Groove Setups. Once you’ve installed the objects, you can access the setups by pressing the Setup button on the front panel of your K2661.

When you are playing a Groove Setup, you can activate a drum pattern (actually a song file) by pressing any key below C3 (C below middle C). Once triggered, the drum pattern is automatically held or latched (in other words, you do not need to keep holding the key down for the groove to continue playing). Most grooves have a bass sound assigned to the left hand keyboard region, as well as some sounds for right hand playing.

Use your K2661’s large ribbon to activate a fill for the groove. (There is one groove that does not follow this convention, #2, where there is no fill on the ribbon. Instead, a 'toms fill' is activated when you play between C3 and C4 on the keyboard.)

Note: After pressing panic, grooves won't trigger; you must scroll away and then back for the setup to get the correct entry value.

Special Purpose Setups

There are three special setups at the end of the Zeros bank:

97 Control Setup Lets you define controller assignments in Program mode. Customize and select the control setup on the MIDI-mode TRANSMIT page.

98 Clear Setup A template for creating your own control assignments from a clear palette.

99 Default Setup Lets you create your own setups from our common settings (shown below).

The NewZn parameter uses this setup as its template to create new zones.
