Pitch block
Here you can specify the pitch and playback method for the sample assigned to each zone
1–4.
A Zn field
Indicates the zone number.
B Tune field
Adjusts the tuning of the sample assigned to each zone, in units of semitones and cents.
C Pitch field
Specifies how the pitch of the sample will be affected by the note number. You can select
TRACK (the pitch will change according to the note number) or CONST (the pitch will
be the same for any note number in the key span).
D Play mode field
Selects one of the following to specify how the sample assigned to each zone will be
played.
NO LOOP................... Loop playback will not occur. The sample will sound only
while you continue holding down the pad (note).
LOOP.......................... Loop playback will be enabled.
ONE SHOT................. Loop playback will not occur. The sample will play to the end
when you press the pad (note) once.
AS SAMPLE .............. The Sample mode setting will be used.
NOTE OFF ................. The sample will play to the end when note-off is received.
E Filter field
Applies a relative adjustment to the filter cutoff for each zone.
F Start field
Specifies the amount of offset when velocity (or another modulation source) is used to
offset the start point of the sample.
Switching between zones
You can use a modulation source such as velocity or control change to switch the zone
that sounds. As an example, here’s how to assign different samples to zones 1 and 2, and
switch the zone that sounds.
1. Assign different samples to zones 1 and 2 of each key group or note number.
2. In the Key Group Mix, Pitch, or Edit 1/2 page, press the [F6] key (ZONE).
The Zone page will appear.
3. Move the cursor to the Range field for zone 1, and set the values to 000–063.
4. Move the cursor to the Range field for zone 2, and set the values to 064–127.
With these settings, zones 1 and 2 will switch according to the velocity (force) with
which you play the pads (notes). This is because with the default program settings, veloc-
ity is assigned as the modulation source that switches between zones.
