MAPPING OUT YOUR KEYGROUPS - SETTING KEYSPAN
Pressing will display this screen:
This is where you can set up the note ranges for the keygroup. You can see a graphic
representation of the keyboard to the left of the screen. As you adjust the LOW and HIGH
parameters for a keygroup, you will see its range depicted in the graphic representation of the
keyboard to the screen’s left. The notes may be represented by name or as note number
simply by pressing the SPAN soft key again.
The above screen display shows a simple program with one keygroup in it. This next screen
shows a typical program with several keygroups side by side.
The parameters are as follows:
This toggles between ONE and ALL and allows you to choose between
editing either one single keygroup or all keygroups simultaneously. You will
find this function of every keygroup page and it can be invaluable in making up
and editing programs quickly. In a complex program, you may select ALL to do
all the basic work and then switch to ONE to individually fine tune the
keygroups.
Below this field are the keygroups and their note ranges can be seen
alongside them. You may move the cursor directly down this line using the
cursor keys for quick access to a particular keygroup.
Below these two fields are shown the lowest and highest notes for the
keygroups. These may be set by moving the cursor to them and using the
DATA control to input notes or, when displaying the notes numerically, you
may type in a number from the numeric keypad. Another way to input notes is
directly from the keyboard.
By setting the soft key to ON and placing the cursor on the low
note of keygroup 1, as you play the keyboard, so the notes will be entered.
The cursor will jump to each low and high note in the list eventually ‘wrapping
round’ to rest on KG1. This is a very fast way to set up keygroup note spans
and a whole program can be set up in seconds!
NOTE: If ALL is selected in the field, changing a value in the low or high fields will
affect ALL notes equally. Pay attention because you could seriously affect your program’s
keyspan with one slip. You will note that this does not apply when inputting notes from the
keyboard and is on.
