IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING: When using electric products, basic precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all of the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation
of Graphic Symbols before using the product.

2. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet which is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug provided with the the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use an
adaptor which defeats the function of the equipment-grounding
conductor. If you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or electrician.

3. WARNING: This product is equipped with an AC input voltage
selector. The voltage selector has been factory set for the mains
supply voltage in the country where this unit was sold. Changing
the voltage selector may require the use of a diff erent power supply
cord or attachment plug, or both. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, refer servicing to qualified maintenance personnel.

4. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, or the like.

5. This product should only be used with a stand or cart that is
recommended by the manufacturer.

6. This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and
speakers or headphones, may be capable of producing sound
levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate f or
a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is
uncomfortable. If y ou experience any hearing loss or ringing in the
ears, you should consult an audiologist.

7. The product should be located so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation.

8. The product should be located away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce heat.

9. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.

10. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade
wider than the other). This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

11. The power supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the
outlet when left unused for a long period of time. When unplugging
the power supply cord, do not pull on the cord, but grasp it by the
plug.

12. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through openings.

13. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
B. Objects have f allen, or liquid has been spilled into the product;
C. The product has been exposed to rain;
D. The product does not appear to be operating normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance;

E. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

14. Do not attempt to to service the product beyond that described in
the user maintenance instructions. All other servicing should be
referred to qualified service personnel.

15. WARNING: Do not place objects on the product's power supply
cord, or place the product in a position where anyone could trip
over, walk on, or roll anything over cords of any type. Do not allow
the product to rest on or be installed over cords of any type.

Table 1-1 Navigating with the Edit Button

Soft Buttons

Functions change depending on current display page. Function of each button is displayed on
bottom line of display.

Exit Button

Press to leave various editors. If youÕve made any changes while in the editor, you will be
prompted to save them.

Cursor Buttons

Press the corresponding button to move the cursor up, down, left, or right in the display.
Different parameter values will be highlighted as buttons are pressed.

Alpha Wheel

For data entry. Rotate clockwise to increase value of currently selected parameter,
counterclockwise to decrease.

Plus / Minus Buttons (- and +)

Under the Alpha Wheel. Press to increase or decrease the value of the currently selected
parameter by the smallest possible amount. DonÕt confuse this with the +/- button on the
alphanumeric buttonpad.

Front Panel Quick Reference

Front Panel

Alphanumeric Buttonpad

For Numeric Characters

Enter the value numerically instead of using the Alpha Wheel or Plus / Minus buttons. Press

Enter when Þnished. Press Cancel to restore a parameter to its previous value. Pressing Clear is

equivalent to pressing 0 without pressing Enter .

For Alphabetic Characters

When naming objects, you can use the alphanumeric pad to enter letters instead of numbers. If
youÕre renaming a program, for example, just position the cursor under the character you want
to change, then press the corresponding numeric button, as labeled. Press the button as many
times as necessary to enter the desired character. Pressing Clear will enter a space before the
selected character. The 0 button will enter the numerals 0Ð9 when pressed repeatedly.

HereÕs an example. To enter the letter C in a blank space, press 1 three times. You can press the

+/- button before or after entering the letter.

The Cancel button is equivalent to the >>> soft button, and Enter is the same as OK . The Clear
button replaces the currently selected character with a space. The +/Ð button toggles between
uppercase and lowercase letters.

When you press the +/Ð button on the alphanumeric pad, the currently selected character (the
one with the cursor under it) will switch from upper case to lower case, and vice versa. The +/Ð
button is a toggle; that is, if you switch from lower to upper case, all further entries will be in
upper case until you press the +/Ð button again.

Front Panel

Special Keyboard Functions

There are several punctuation characters available as well, but they can be entered only with the
Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons. The punctuation characters are between z (lower case)
and 0.

Special Alphanumeric Buttonpad Functions

When youÕre in Quick Access mode, the Alphanumeric buttonpad can be used to select the
entries in the current Quick Access bank. The layout of the alphanumeric buttonpad
corresponds to the layout of Quick Access bank entries as seen on the Quick Access-mode page.

ThereÕs also a shortcut for selecting different QA banks while in QA mode. Just 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 will be selected, and
youÕll return to the Quick Access page.

You can also use the alphanumeric pad to select strings to search for in the currently selected list
of objects, and to enter new strings to search for. The search function is described fully on
page 3-8 of the MusicianÕs Guide.

Lastly, rack users can play notes from the numeric keypad by holding down the Cancel button
while pressing alphanumeric buttons. This is described fully on page 3-10 of the MusicianÕs
Guide.

The Display

You may want to adjust the contrast of the display for different lighting conditions. On keyboard
models, the adjustment knob is on the rear panel, between the MIDI ports and the continuous
controller pedal jacks. On rack models, itÕs on the front panel, above the power switch.

MIDI LED (Rack Models Only)

Lights when the K2600 is receiving MIDI information at its MIDI In port.

Mixdown Button

Brings up the Mixdown page, as shown in the following diagram. From this page you can
choose how the K2600Õs physical sliders function during MIDI mixdown. In the example below,
Sliders A-H will control the volume level of MIDI channels 1-8. By pressing the Pan soft button,
you would change the function of the sliders to control panning for channels 1-8; or, you could
press the 9-16 soft button to have the sliders affect channels 9-16.

You can also use the cursor buttons to highlight the pan or volume control for a channel and use
the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons to change the pan or volume level. In the screen below,
for example, you could use the Alpha Wheel to control panning on channel 9 at the same time
that you are using the sliders to control volume on channels 1-8.
