Changing the Current Layer in Multi-Layer Programs

When editing a multi-layer program (including drum programs), you can quickly switch between layers by holding the Enter button, then striking a key. The K2661 will change the current layer to that key’s layer. If the key is part of more than one layer, subsequent key strikes will cycle through each layer that has that key in its range.

Note: This method for changing the current layer in a multi-layer program will NOT work if the currently highlighted parameter has a note number or control source for its value. In this case, the key you strike will function as described in Intuitive Data Entry, above.

Search

There’s a convenient way to find any string of characters within the currently selected list, or range of values. Hold the Enter button and press any of the numeric buttons. A dialog like the one below appears.

<>KbdNaming:Off

Searchstring:SoulRebels

Type in the string of characters you want to find. For example, if you’re looking at the program list and you want to find all programs containing the word “Horn,” you would type h-o-r-n. This function is not case-sensitive; it will find upper and lower case characters regardless of what you type.

When you’ve typed the string of characters you want to find, press Enter. The K2661 searches through the current list of objects or values, finds all items that match the string of characters you typed, and displays the first one it finds. Hold Enter and press one of the Plus/Minus buttons to search for the next higher- or lower-numbered object that contains the string of characters.

The string you select remains in memory. You can store and select a string of characters with each of the numeric buttons. Hold Enter and press one of the numeric buttons at any time to select that string for a search. When the string appears, you can change it, or just press Enter to find that string.
