A Keygroup X-fade field
Specify whether crossfading will occur if adjacent key groups have overlapping ranges.
B X-fade curve field
Select the volume curve that will be used for crossfading. You can select LINEAR,
EXPONENTIAL, or LOGARITHMIC curves.
C Set keyrange via MIDI field
Specifies whether you will be able to use the pads or your MIDI keyboard to set the Span
Low/High fields. If you select YES, you can play your MIDI keyboard or strike a pad
when the cursor is located at the Span or High field, and that note number will be input
for the field.
D Play trigger field
Specifies what will happen when note events are received by that key group. You can
select NOTE ON (the key group will sound when note-on occurs), NOTE OFF (the key
group will sound at note-off, and the sample will play in one-shot mode), or TOGGLE
(the key group will begin sounding at note-on, and continue sounding until the next
note-on).

Specifying mute groups
Here’s how you can assign each key group or note number to a Mute Group. Key groups
or note numbers that are assigned to the same mute group will not sound simultaneously.
1. Select the program that you want to edit, and access the Pitch page.
2. Move the cursor to the Kg/Note field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select a key
group or note number.
3. Move the cursor to the Mute Group field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select a
mute group number.
4. Move the cursor to the Mute Group field of another key group or note number
that you want to add to the same mute group, and specify the same mute group
number.
5. If you want to check the current mute group settings, press the [WINDOW] key
when the cursor is located in the Mute Group field.
Hint: If the Set keygroup via MIDI field is set to YES, you can use the pads or your MIDI keyboard to
specify the key range.
