Selecting Programs
When you want to change programs, you have several options.
The easiest method is the Alpha Wheel. Turning it left or right will scroll through the program
list. You can also change programs using the cursor buttons (the arrow buttons to the right of the
display), or the Plus/Minus buttons under the Alpha Wheel. To save time, you can enter the
program number directly from the alphanumeric buttonpad to the right of the Alpha Wheel,
pressing the Enter button to complete the selection. If you make a mistake, press Clear, then
start over.

The K2600 has various settings for responding to MIDI Program Change commands from
external sources. These are explained in Chapter 10, so we wonÕt go into them here. You should
be able to change programs by sending Program Change commands from your MIDI controller.

K2600R owners, be sure to try whatever performance controls your MIDI controller has: the
Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel, and switch or control pedalsÑdifferent programs respond to them in
different ways. Attack velocity and aftertouch also have varying effects. Check the list of
programs in the MusicianÕs Reference, describing how each program responds to speciÞc MIDI
control messages.

If you donÕt hear anything, see the troubleshooting section in the MusicianÕs Reference. When
youÕre ready to start doing your own programming, check out Chapter 6.

Setups
Setups are preset combinations of programs. Setups can have up to eight zones, each of which
can be assigned to any range of the keyboard (overlapping or split). Each zone can have its own
program, MIDI channel, and MIDI control assignments.

If youÕre a K2600R owner, you can make use of setups even if your MIDI controller can transmit
on only one MIDI channel at a time. See K2600R Owners Only on page 2-1, or the discussion of
the parameter called Local Keyboard Channel in Chapter 10.

Press the Setup mode button to the left of the display. Its LED will light, telling you that youÕre
in Setup mode. Notice that the Setup-mode display is similar to the Program-mode display. If
the setup has three or fewer zones, the box at the left shows you the programs assigned to each
of the setupÕs three zones, and which MIDI channel is used for each program. If the setup is
composed of more than three zones, then the box displays a series of horizontal lines illustrating
the approximate key ranges of the zones. See page 7-1 for a more detailed description.

Many setups include arpeggiation and note-triggered songs to create some pretty amazing
grooves that you can use as is, or as templates for your own material. As you play with these
setups, experiment with the sliders and other controllers for a wide range of effects. Some of
these grooves keep playing after youÕve released the keys that got them going. When you want
to stop them, select another setup, or press the Setup mode button.
