More on the Keyboard tracks- splits, layers etc.
So far, you’ve learned quite a bit, but we’ve only just begun...sounds like a song, don’t it?
(wonder what arrangement would work for that?...never mind...) OK, back to work...Look
to the right of the DIAL and you’ll notice a set of buttons labeled KEYBOARD ASSIGN.
Here is a very important part of the i-series interactive functions, and understanding how
it works is important. Notice the LOWER, UPPER2, and
UPPER1 buttons...
1. Select Arrangement “B66 Half time”. Notice that in the KEYBOARD ASSIGN section,
the UPPER1 LED is lit. In the Display, the UP1 program is indicated.
2. Play in the upper range of the keyboard to hear the “Dist Lead” sound.
3. Press the UPPER2 button, then press the UPPER1 button to turn its LED off. You’ll
hear a Clavinet sound. Pressing both buttons will layer the programs!
4. In the VOLUME section, press the LOW/UPP2 button. The Display will indicate
“UP2: A18 Clavinet” as the UPPER2 sound. Note that because you have selected
the LOW/UPP2 button, you can now change sounds using the PROGRAM BANK
AND NUMBER buttons, and also change volumes or mute the UPPER2 track.
5. Press the LOWER button in the KEYBOARD ASSIGN section. Notice that the
UPPER2 button automatically turns OFF. This is how you choose between Layering
two sounds or Splitting two sounds.
Splitting the Keyboard:
1. Re-select Arrangement “B66 Half Time”. Again note that the UPPER1 button is lit.
Also note that the SPLIT button is lit in the KEYBOARD MODE section, located
above the PROGRAM section.
2. Press the LOWER button in the KEYBOARD ASSIGN section.
3. Without starting the arrangement, simply play notes in the lower and upper ranges
of the keyboard.
