Kurzweil k2600 Manual Suplementar

 

Navigation

 

The navigation section of the front panel consists of the display and the buttons surrounding it. 
These navigation buttons will take you to every one of the K2600Õs programming parameters.

 

Your primary interface with the K2600 is its backlit graphic display. As you press various 
buttons, this ßuorescent display reßects the commands you enter and the editing changes you 
make. The ample size of the display (240-by-64 

 

) enables you to view lots of information at 

one time.

 

Within each mode, the functions and parameters are organized into smaller, related groups that 
appear together in the display. Each one of these groups of parameters is called a 

 

. Each 

mode has what we call an entry-level page; itÕs the page that appears when you select that mode 
with one of the mode buttons. Within each mode and its editor(s), the various pages are selected 
with the navigation buttons. There are many pages, but there are a few features common to each 
page. The diagram below shows the entry-level page for Program mode.

On the top line of most pages, thereÕs a reminder of which mode youÕre in and which page 
youÕre on. Many pages display additional information in the top line, as well. The 
Program-mode page above, for example, shows you the current amount of MIDI transposition 
and the currently selected MIDI channel. The top line is almost always ÒreversedÓÑthat is, it 
has a white background with blue characters.

 

The bottom line is divided into six (sometimes fewer) sets of reversed characters that serve as 
labels for the six buttons directly beneath the display. These labelsÑand the functions of the 
buttonsÑchange depending on the currently selected page. Consequently the buttons that 
select these functions are called ÒsoftÓ buttons.

 

The soft buttons are called ÒsoftÓ because their functions change depending on the currently 
selected mode. Sometimes they perform speciÞc functions, like changing MIDI channels in 
Program mode. In the Program Editor and other editors, theyÕre also used to move to different 
pages of programming parameters. If a soft buttonÕs label is in all capital letters (

 

, for 

example), pressing the corresponding soft button takes you to a page of parameters. If the soft 
button is labeled in lower-case or mixed-case letters (

 

, for example), the soft button 

performs some kind of function.
