The Soft Buttons in MIDI Mode
The first three soft buttons select the three MIDI-mode pages. The PrgChg soft button lets you
send a program change command on any MIDI channel. The RsetCh soft button lets you return
all channel parameters to their default values. The Panic soft button sends an All Notes Off and
an All Controllers Off messages to the K2661 and on all 16 MIDI channels.
Program Change (PrgChg)
When you press this soft button, a dialog appears:
Send|Program|Change:||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||
On|Channel||2,|Send|Program|||0|||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chan-||Chan+||Prog-||Prog+||Send||Cancel
This dialog lets you send program changes out the MIDI Out port, but does not change internal
programs. The Chan/Bank buttons, the Up/Down cursor buttons, and the Chan– and Chan+
soft buttons can all be used to change the channel on which the program change command will
be sent. The Left/Right cursor buttons, the Plus/Minus buttons, the Alpha Wheel and the Prog–
and Prog+ soft buttons can all be used to change the program change number that will be sent.
When you’ve set the channel and the program change number, press the Send soft button to
send the program change command. Or press the Cancel soft button if you don’t want to send it.
You can change the channel and the program number as many times as you want before you
press Send. You also can use the alphanumeric pad to select a program number directly.
Reset Channels (RsetCh)
When you press this soft button, the K2661 asks if you want to reset all channels. If you press
Yes, all settings on the CHANNELS page will return to their default values. For example, you
may have set several MIDI channels to route their audio to Output Group B for a special project.
When the project’s over, you can reset the Channels to restore the audio routing to each
individual program (a value of Prog), rather than selecting each channel’s page and setting the
Pair parameter back to a value of Prog. Press No if you decide not to reset the channels.
Panic
Panic sends All Notes Off and All Controllers Off messages to the K2661 and all MIDI channels.
