Kurzweil K2600 Quick Access Mode Manual

8-1 Chapter 8 Quick Access Mode and the Quick Access Editor In Quick Access mode, you can select programs or setups with a single press of an alphanumeric button (or with the other data entry methods). For example, in the illustration below, you would simply press 5 on the alphanumeric pad to choose FM Harmonica . Notice that your selection becomes highlighted in the list, as well as appearing on the line just above the soft-button labels.

You can use the bank selection shortcut to do this: press the +/Ð or Clear button on the alphanumeric pad, and youÕll be prompted to enter a bank number. Type the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press Enter . The bank is selected, and you return to the Quick Access-mode page. Or use the Chan/Bank buttons to scroll through the QA banks. Each bank contains ten memory slots, or entries, where you can store programs or setups in any combination. Any program or setup in the currently selected bank can be selected with the numeric buttons 0 through 9 . The ROM (factory preset) QA banks are organized into useful groupings of sounds that we think youÕll Þnd convenient. You can store 20 Quick Access banks in each memory bank (except the Zeros bank, which can store 75). See Storing Objects in the Memory Banks on page 13-36 for a breakdown of the Quick Access-bank IDs that belong in each memory bank. Press both Chan/Bank buttons simultaneously to quickly move between memory banks. The MIDI Program Change commands that the K2600 sends when in Quick Access mode can differ from those in Program or Setup mode. This depends on the setting you have for the PChgType parameter in MIDI mode. If the setting is Extended or Kurzweil , the Program Change commands sent are the same as in Program or Setup mode. If the setting is QA Extended or QA Kurzweil , the K2600 sends Program Change commands that correspond to the current Quick Access bank and the entry you select, not the actual program number of the entry. See Program Change Formats on page 10-11. Everything you need to know about using Quick Access mode for performance is covered in Chapter 2, in the section called Playing the Presets , so weÕll move on to the Quick Access Editor, which youÕll use to create your own Quick Access banks.

The Þrst step in editing Quick Access banks is to select Quick Access mode. Then use the Chan/ Bank buttons to select the bank you wish to edit. The currently selected bank is shown in the top line of the Quick Access-mode page. Press the Edit button, and you enter the editor, where you can examine each entry in the bank you selected. The Quick Access Editor page looks like this: EditQuickAccess||||||||||||||<>Entry:9|| � ||||||||||||||||||||198|Blues|in|CMOS||| Entry:||Type:|||||||1 � 99|Default|Program| � 9|||||||Program|||||| |1|Righteous|Piano| � ||||||||||||||||||||||2|Mondo|Bass|||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||3|Killer|Drums|||| � |||||| � | � |||||| � | � |||||| � | � |4|Elv � is|Again||||| Name|| � | Save|| � | Delete � | Dump|| � ||||||||||||| The top line gives you the usual mode reminder, and shows you which of the ten entries youÕre looking at. The cursor is highlighting the object (program or setup) thatÕs stored in that entry. The easiest way to edit the bank is to use the Chan/Bank buttons to scroll through the ten entries. The entry number changes both at the top of the page, and at the left of the page. As the entry number changes, the highlighted objects at the center of the page change as well, showing you whatÕs stored in each entry. On the page above, for example, entry 9 is the current entry. The Type parameter tells you that the object stored at entry 9 is a program. The cursor highlights the programÕs ID and name. In this example, you could select a different program with your favorite data entry method. If you wanted to store a setup in that entry instead of a program, you would move the cursor to the Type parameter and change its value to Setup . The list of objects would change from the program list to the setup list, and you could move the cursor back to the setup list and select another setup. When you select the Entry or Type parameter, the list of objects at the right disappears, leaving only the currently selected object. This makes it easier to see when itÕs not highlighted by the cursor. When youÕve Þlled each entry with the object you want, press the Name soft button if you want to rename the bank, or press the Save soft button to begin the save procedure. Press the Dump soft button to dump the bank via MIDI System Exclusive.
