K2vx Program List

The programs in the 0Õs, 100Õs, 800Õs, and 900Õs banks of the K2vx are organized by instrument category; programs in the 600Õs and 700Õs are not. YouÕll Þnd representatives of each instrument sampled, as well as synthesized instrument emulations, commonly used synthesizer timbres, and templates for programming your own work. There are many ways to put expressivity and variety in a single program by assigning MIDI controllers to the various DSP functions in its layers. This list describes how each of the factory preset programs can be modulated or altered by the various MIDI controls. Only those controls which may not be immediately evident are listed. Controls such as attack velocity and keynumber are understood to be assigned to most programs.
