EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE

WHAT IS A KEYGROUP?
A KEYGROUP is precisely that - a group of keys which have a particular note range on the
keyboard. The simplest program you can have is with one keygroup in it that spans the entire
MIDI range on C0-G8. The TEST PROGRAM that always boots up into the CD3000XL is just
such a program. I.e:
KEYGROUP 1
Perhaps the next level up is to have a program with two keygroups. One covers the range C0-
B2, the other C3-G8 - this would be a simple keyboard split. I.e:
KEYGROUP 1 KEYGROUP 2
The next level may be a program which has five keygroups - one for each octave on a normal
synth keyboard. Such a program may be useful for something like piano or strings which have
been sampled on the G of every octave. I.e:
KG1 KG2 KG3 KG4 KG5
After that, of course, it’s anyone’s guess what the next level may be but it could be something
like this:
Here we have 17 keygroups in one program - some are assigned to individual keys whilst some
span an octave or so. Hopefully, you can now get a feel for how flexible the keygroup
assignment can be. But there can be more to it than that.
