Contemporary ROM Programs with Controller Assignments

The 100 preset programs in the K2500 Contemporary ROM are organized by category. We hope you will ﬁnd these

programs to be a good starting point for 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 100 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.

Contemporary ROM Setups

Appendix E-10

Contemporary ROM Setups

A setup is a combination of eight zones, each having its own MIDI channel and controller

assignments. Designed initially for models with built-in keyboards, setups can be played on

K2500R via the Local Keyboard Channel feature: Find this parameter in MIDI mode on the

RECV page, change it from None to a channel of your choice, and set your controller to send on

only that channel. Now, any notes or MIDI controller data that come in on that channel will be

re-mapped according to the display channel (in program mode) and according to the setup (in

Setup mode).

To take advantage of Version 2's eight zone setup capability, there are 51 new setups in the

Version 2 Contemporary ROM Objects. You will ﬁnd unique internal program combinations,

arpeggiator examples, and special ribbon and controller functions. With as many as 24

assignable controllers shared among 8 independent zones, K2500 MIDI setups can be quite

powerful, and they require some experimentation to ﬁnd all their features and nuances. In

order to make this process easier, many setups are programmed according to the certain

conventions. The sliders generally provide mixing capabilities either as group faders or

individual zone faders. They also provide control over timbre, effects mix, and clock tempo.

Other conventions include:

Controller Default

Slider G: Wet/Dry mix

Slider H: Tempo

PSw 1: Arp on/off

Psw 2: Latch2

Footswitch 1: Sustain

Footswitch 2: Sostenuto

Footswitch 3: Soft Pedal

Large Ribbon: Pitch

Small Ribbon Press: Mono Pressure

Small Ribbon Lin: Pitch

Mod Wheel: Mod Wheel
