K2600 Note Numbers and MIDI Note Numbers
You can assign samples to keymaps in the range from C 0 to G 9. The K2600 will respond to
MIDI events in the octave from C -1 to B -1. If a Note On event is generated in the range from C -
1 to B -1, the K2600 will respond by setting the Intonation key correspondingly (C -1 will set it to
C, C
#
-1 will set it to C
#
, etc.)
Note Numbers for Percussion Keymaps
Most of the K2600Õs percussion programs have keymaps that place the various percussion
timbres at standardized key locations. There are eight drum keymaps: Preview Drums, Þve
5-octave kits (two dry and three ambient), a 2-octave kit, and the General MIDI kit. The keymap
30 General MIDI Kit adheres as closely as possible to the General MIDI standard for placement
of timbres. As a rule, programs that use this keymap can be assigned in percussion tracks for
prerecorded sequences and will play appropriate timbres for all percussion notes.
The timbres are located consistently within the 5-octave kit keymaps so you can interchange
keymaps within percussion programs freely without changing the basic timbres assigned to
various notes (snare sounds will always be at and around Middle C, for example). The note
assignments for the timbres in the 5-octave kit and 2-octave kit keymaps are listed below. MIDI
note number 60 (Middle C) is deÞned as C 4.
