Kurzweil k2600 Manual Suplementario

Panel Play Feature (Rack Models)

You can play notes on the K2600R even if you donÕt have a MIDI controller connected to its 
MIDI In port. Using the alphanumeric pad, you can play the octave from C 4 to C 5 and send the 
notes to the audio outputs and Headphones jack.

While in any mode, press and hold the Cancel button on the alphanumeric pad. Press one of the 
other alphanumeric buttons to play various notes:  1 is C 4, 2 is C

#

 4, and so on up to Enter, 

which plays C 5. Notes are sent to the K2600Õs sound engine on the current MIDI channel.

Pressing the Up or Down cursor buttons while holding Cancel will transpose up or down an 
octave while using this feature. This transposition will be remembered the next time you use 
this feature, but does not affect the K2600Õs normal MIDI transposition.

Notes are played at approximately the mf velocity level. You can adjust the attack velocity of the 
notes using the Plus/Minus buttons while holding down the Cancel button. The velocity values 
will continue to change if you hold the Plus/Minus buttons down.

You can press the Right cursor button while holding Cancel to sustain notes. The Left cursor 
button releases notes.

On keyboard models, there are two buttons below the Solo button, labeled Mixdown and MIDI 
Faders. These call up pages that let you use the sliders to control MIDI Pan and Volume, or any 
MIDI Controller that you choose. This is useful for real-time control over setups.

K2600R owners can use front-panel buttons for the same purpose. On any page (except in Quick 
Access mode), press Clear to view the Mixdown page, then use the cursor buttons to select a 
pan or volume control, and the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons to change values. Press 
Clear again to view the MIDI Faders page, where you can change values similarly. Press Clear a 
third time (or press Exit) to return to normal operation.

This page temporarily turns the K2600Õs 8 sliders into MIDI pan and volume controls. You can 
get to this page from any mode by pressing the Mixdown button, located below the Solo button. 
(K2600R owners can press the Clear button one or more times to call up these pages.) Press 
Mixdown, and the display looks similar to what you see on the Song-mode MIX page. However, 
there are a few differences. On the Mixdown page, the sliders relate to MIDI channels instead of 
tracks. If you highlight 1-8 for example, moving slider D will affect volume or pan for MIDI 
Channel 4 while youÕre on this page.
