Channels, Bank Select, Power Mode, 10-7 | Alesis K2661 specs

MIDI Mode

The Channels Page

Bank Select

BankSelect allows you to choose between having the K2661 respond to Controller 0 or Controller 32 or both. The reason for this is that various manufacturers have chosen one method or the other. The four possible values for this parameter are:

0 only Responds to controller 0 only.

32 only Responds to controller 32 only.

Ctl 0 Responds to 0 or 32.

Ctl 32 Responds to 0 or 32.

Power Mode

Power Mode has two possible values: User and Demo. When set to User, the user’s parameter settings are retained. When set to Demo several parameters are returned to default values when the unit is powered up. The default value for the Power Mode parameter is User.

The following parameters are reset when Power Mode is set to Demo.

Master mode:	KB3 Channel resets to 1
MIDI Transmit:	Control resets to Both; Channel resets to 1; Transpose resets to 0 ST
Effects mode:	FX Mode resets to Auto, and FX Chan resets to Current
Disk mode:	Current Disk resets to SMedia

The Channels Page

Press the CHANLS soft button to select the CHANNELS page, where you can deﬁne numerous parameters for each MIDI channel independently. Use the Chan/Bank buttons to select the MIDI channel you wish to work on.

The CHANNELS page is very useful when you’re doing multi-timbral sequencing, with programs assigned to numerous MIDI channels. The CHANNELS page lets you set several control characteristics for each MIDI channel. This makes it easy to adjust the playback of the sequence without editing the sequence itself. For example, you might turn off the Enable parameter for one or more channels to mute the tracks on those channels. You could also set the VolLock parameter to On, to ignore any MIDI volume messages the K2661 receives on a given MIDI channel.
