Intuitive Data Entry

Many parameters have values that correspond to the standard physical controls present on most 
MIDI controllers (primarily keyboards). In many cases, you can select these values Òintuitively,Ó 
rather than having to scroll through the Control Source list. This is done by selecting the desired 
parameter, then holding the ENTER button while moving the desired physical control.

For example, on the LAYER page in the Program Editor, you can set the range of the currently 
selected layer as follows:  use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the value for the LoKey 
parameter, press (and hold) the Enter button, then use your MIDI controller to trigger the note 
you wish to be the lowest note for the currently displayed layer. The note you triggered (it has to 
be between C 0ÑC 8) will appear as the value for the LoKey parameter. Repeat the process for 
the HiKey parameter.

Another example:  select Program 199 while in Program mode. Press Edit to enter the Program 
Editor. Press the PITCH soft button to select the PITCH page. Move the cursor to the Src1 
parameter. Hold the Enter button, and move your controllerÕs Pitch Wheel. PWheel will be 
selected as the value for Src1.

You can also use the keyboard of your MIDI controller to choose control sources, since most key 
numbers correspond to a value on the control source list. If you have a certain control source 
that you use over and over (for example, LFO1), this can be the quickest way to enter its value. 
To do this: highlight a parameter which uses a value from the control source list, hold down 
Enter, then strike the key corresponding to the control source you want to choose. LFO1, for 
example, is assigned to B5. YouÕll Þnd a complete chart of these keyboard shortcuts at the end of 
Chapter 4 of the MusicianÕs Reference.

Also, for almost every parameter, holding the Enter button links the K2600 to your MIDI 
controllerÕs Data slider, if it has one. Moving the Data Slider will run through the range of values 
for the currently selected parameter. This is not as precise as the Alpha Wheel, but much faster.

When editing a multi-layer program (including drum programs), you can quickly switch 
between layers by holding the Enter button, then striking a key. The K2600 will change the 
current layer to that keyÕs layer. If the key is part of more than one layer, subsequent key strikes 
will cycle through each layer that has that key in its range.
