The PARAMS page

ControlsParameter · Value · Control · Assign

PARAMS is the program's control panel: each row a Parameter, its Value when the program loads, the Control that moves it, and its name. A layer or an effect listens to the parameter; the row decides which knob, slider or button drives it. The factory gives most programs the same panel.

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

A ROW

Parameter is the destination, a MIDI controller the layers read; Value its starting point; Control the physical control. Rows appear by themselves when a field reads a controller.

ASSIGN

With the cursor in the Control column, hold ENTER and move a control to give it the row; in the Parameter column, the same jumps to the row that control drives. NEW PMTR adds a row by hand.

THE FACTORY'S PANEL

Slider 1 the filter, Slider 2 its resonance, Sliders 3 and 4 the attack and the release, Slider 9 the reverb and Button 9 its switch, the Mod Wheel the vibrato, VARIATION an extra layer.

WATCH OUT

SAVE in Program mode stores where the controls are as the program's values: move a slider, save, and the program starts there.
