A whole edit

Step by stepAMP ENV · DSP CTL · LAYER · PARAMS · SAVE

An edit is a few changes on a few pages. Full Pizzicato becomes a slow, dark, deep string sound in four: a longer attack on AMP ENV, a lower filter on DSP CTL, the octave layer kept to the bass on LAYER, more reverb on PARAMS. Then SAVE.

The screens are the K2700's pages for the factory program named; the maps are drawn from its layers and its PARAMS rows. Nothing plays here: open the program on your K2700 and listen as you go.

WHAT TO KNOW

ONE THING AT A TIME

Change one value, play, and listen before the next. COMPARE tells you whether the change helped.

WHICH PAGE

Loudness over time: AMP ENV. Brightness: the filter's row on DSP CTL. Which notes a layer plays: LAYER. The room: FX, or the reverb's row on PARAMS.

EVERY LAYER

A program's layers are edited one by one: a change on layer 1 leaves layer 2 as it was. Step through them with CHANNEL/LAYER.

WATCH OUT

Save early on a USER ID and keep saving on it; the factory program is always there to start again.
