Common AKAI VX600 Questions
How do I save and load sounds (Patches) on the Akai VX600?
The VX600 saves sounds to internal memory. Use the 'Store' button, select a memory location using the cursor keys and data entry slider, and press 'Enter' to save. To load, use the cursor keys to select the memory location, and press 'Load'.
How do I configure the MIDI settings (channel, mode) on the Akai VX600?
Press the 'MIDI' button. Use the cursor keys and data slider to select the desired MIDI channel and mode. After making changes, press the 'Enter' button to save your MIDI settings.
My VX600 is making no sound. What are the first things I should check?
First, ensure the 'Volume' slider is up and the 'Voice Assign' mode isn't set to 'Poly Off'. Also, verify the 'Local Control' setting in the MIDI menu is enabled if you're playing the VX600's keyboard directly.
How do I use the VX600's 'Double' mode for a thicker sound?
Press the 'Function' button, then select the 'Double' parameter using the cursor keys. Enable 'Double' and adjust the 'Detune' parameter to taste. This stacks two voices per key, for a richer sound.
How can I transpose the keyboard on the VX600?
The VX600 does not have a dedicated transpose function. The pitch bend wheel is available or external MIDI control for pitch is suggested.
