The TRANSMIT Page

Chapter 10

MIDI Mode

Press the MIDI-mode button to enter MIDI mode. There are three pages in MIDI mode:

•TRANSMIT (XMIT soft button)

•RECEIVE (RECV soft button)

•CHANNELS (CHANLS soft button)

You’ll use these pages to determine what MIDI messages the K2661 transmits, and how it responds to the MIDI messages it receives—as well as how each MIDI channel behaves.

When you enter MIDI mode, you’ll see one of the three available MIDI-mode pages. When you exit MIDI mode, the K2661 remembers which page you were on. The next time you select MIDI mode, that page appears.

The TRANSMIT Page

Press the XMIT soft button, and the TRANSMIT page appears. Use these parameters to control how the K2661 sends MIDI information to its MIDI Out port. These settings to some extent affect the K2661’s response to its own keyboard and controllers, but they primarily affect the responses of other MIDI devices that are receiving MIDI from the K2661 on the channel specified with the Channel parameter on this page.

It’s important to remember that many of the settings of the TRANSMIT page are in effect only when a program is selected, either in Program mode or in Quick Access mode. If a setup is selected, in Setup mode or in Quick Access mode, the setup’s MIDI settings override the corresponding settings on the TRANSMIT page. The TRANSMIT page looks like this:
