ASSIGNING PARTS TO THE INDIVIDUAL OUTPUTS
Pressing F2 - - will take you to the output assignment page:
Here, you can set which of the 8 individual outputs each part will appear through. You may also
set the level of the sound appearing at any of the outputs.
TUNING AND TRANSPOSING PARTS
To tune the parts, press F3 - :
The column allows you to tune the part in semi-tone steps and the column
allows you to fine tune parts.
NOTE: The range of the TRANSPOSE parameter is +/- 50 semitones. You will note that this is
not a pitch shift function as such but a MIDI transpose function - this overcomes the problem of
playing back samples out of their range. What this function does is introduce an offset so that
with a +12 setting, if you play C3 on the keyboard, this is offset to play the samples on C4 - it is
not playing the samples on C3 an octave higher and hence introducing transposition distortion
of any kind.
SETTING A PART’S LOW AND HIGH KEYRANGES
When setting key splits, you need to set a low and high note limit for each of the programs
used. This is done on the RNGE (range) screen:
Here, you may set the and for the parts. To create a keysplit, you would
normally assign two programs to two parts, assign them to the same MIDI channel and then set
an appropriate keysplit (i.e. Part 1: C0-B2 and Part 2: C3-G8). More details on setting up key
splits is given later in this section.
