Alesis K2661 specifications Quick Access Banks-Kurzweil QA Kurz, 10-12

MIDI Mode

Program Change Formats

Depending on the QA bank entry you want to select, you’ll send the K2661 either a PCH (value 0 to 99), or a MIDI Controller 0 or 32 message (value 0 to 7) followed by a PCH. Sending a single command will let you select from a range of 10 QA banks and select an entry within that bank (see the table below). To select a different range of QA banks, send an MC 0 or 32 message followed by a PCH.

The MC 0 or 32 messages selects the range of QA banks (0s through 70s), while the PCH selects the bank within that range, as well as the entry within that bank. Neither the MC 0 or 32 nor the PCH selects a different memory bank (Zeros through 900s). In fact, you can’t change the memory bank via MIDI when using this format. All program and setup selections are made within the currently selected memory bank. You’ll know which memory bank is selected by looking at the ID of the currently selected Quick Access bank in the top line of the Quick Access-mode page. Several examples follow.

If the Zeros Memory Bank is Currently Selected

Bank Range	Bank / Bank Entry	Resulting Selection
Command	Command
		No change (K2661 interprets this as QA bank 0, entry 6.
MC 0 or 32: value 0	PCH: value 6	There is no QA bank 0. Lowest valid PCH value in this
		case is 10, which would select QA bank 1, entry 0)
None	PCH: value 9	Entry 9 in current QA bank
MC 0 or 32: value 0	PCH: value 32	QA bank 3, entry 2
MC 0 or 32: value 1	PCH: value 4	QA bank 10, entry 4
MC 0 or 32: value 1	PCH: value 28	QA bank 12, entry 8
MC 0 or 32: value 2	PCH: value 44	QA bank 24, entry 4

Remember that in the Zeros memory bank, the Quick Access bank IDs go through 75. So if the Zeros memory bank is the current memory bank, you can send MC 0 or 32 values as high as 7 for the bank range command. And you can send PCH values as high as 99 for the bank/bank entry command. (When you’re in the other memory banks, you can send MC 0 or 32 values of 0 or 1, and PCH values of 0 to 99.)

If the 200s Memory Bank is Currently Selected

Bank Range	Bank / Bank Entry	Resulting Selection
Command	Command
None	PCH: value 44	QA bank 204 or 214; entry 4
MC 0 or 32: value 0	PCH: value 6	QA bank 200, entry 6
MC 0 or 32: value 0	PCH: value 32	QA bank 203, entry 2
MC 0 or 32: value 0	PCH: value 99	QA bank 209, entry 9
MC 0 or 32: value 1	PCH: value 4	QA bank 210, entry 4
MC 0 or 32: value 1	PCH: value 28	QA bank 212, entry 8
MC 0 or 32: value 2	PCH: value 44	No change; MC 0 or 32 value 2 is invalid in 200s bank.

Quick Access Banks—Kurzweil (QA Kurz)

This works almost exactly like the QA Ext format. The only exception is that within the

QA Kurz format, the K2661 expects the bank range command to be a PCH, and not MC 0 or 32. MIDI Controller 0 or 32 messages are not recognized. The K2661 expects to receive PCHs of

10-12
