S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30 Page 87
Of course, multi-sampling is also used for drums where each drum is assigned to a note. To do
this, set each keygroup to one note. I.e.
KGRP SAMPLE NAME LO HI
KG1: BASS DRUM C1 C1
KG2: BIG SNARE 1 D1 D1
KG3: SNARE 2 E1 E1
KG4: LO TOM 1 F1 F1
KG5: MID TOM 1 G1 G1
KG6: HI TOM 1 A1 A1
KG7: CONGA1 B1 B1
KG8: CONGA2 C2 C2
The same technique can be used for drum loops or other such samples:
KGRP SAMPLE NAME LO HI
KG1: DRUMLOOP1 C3 C3
KG2: VERSE LOOP D3 D3
KG3: B.VOCALS1 E3 E3
KG4: B. VOCALS2 F3 F3
KG5: GUIT SOLO G3 G3
KG6: ORCH STRIKE C4 C6
Here, in fact, we have the drumloops, backing vocals and guitar solo assigned to single keys
whilst we have an orchestral strike which can be played over a two octave range. Of course,
you could have a bass sound to play in the bottom two octaves.
You can also set keyboard splits using keyspan. For example,:
KGRP SAMPLE NAME LO HI
KG1: SYNTH BASSG1 C0 B1
KG2: SYNTH BASSG2 C2 B2
KG3: EL.PIANO G3 C3 B3
KG4: EL.PIANO G4 C4 B4
KG5: EL.PIANO G5 C5 G8
Although the above keysplit could just as easily be created in MULTI by putting the bass synth
program in one part, the piano in another, setting both parts to the same MIDI channel and
setting keyranges for both of them, this does mean you are using two parts. Setting key splits
in the program itself means that you only need one part to achieve the same result.
As you can see, setting the keygroups’ SPAN offers a lot of flexibility for assembling samples
and setting how you want to play them. On the S2000, any sample taken at any pitch can be
assigned to any keygroup and any keyspan you like can be set (although you will have to re-
rune the samples so they play at the correct pitch - for example, taking a sample at C3 and then
assigning it to C2 will require you to tune it up an octave).
