EDIT PROGRAM
KEYSPAN
This is where you set the note ranges of the keygroups to map them out across the keyboard as
you want. Pressing KEYSPAN shows something like this screen display:
A more complex program such as an intricately multi-sampled piano would look like this:
You may set note ranges in two ways - manually or via MIDI. Via MIDI is by far the easiest. First,
select the keygroup you want to set using F9 (typically, you will select KG1 to start from the
beginning). Now press SET HIGH NOTE or SET LOW NOTE as appropriate and switch SET VIA
MIDI to ON. Now play the notes on your keyboard to set the ranges. The cursor will jump to each
low and high note in the list. This is a very fast way to set up keygroup note spans and a whole
program can be set up in seconds!
The other way to set note ranges is manually. First select the keygroup you want to set using F9.
Now press SET HIGH/LOW NOTE to select the low or high note and use the DATA wheel to enter
a note. Now press SET HIGH/LOW NOTE again to select the low or high note and use the DATA
wheel to set the note. Repeat the process for all keygroups you want to set.
It is also possible to assign samples to Zone 1 of the keygroups in this page by pressing ASSIGN
SAMPLE (F14). In this way, it is possible to set up entire programs within the KEYSPAN page
without needing to jump between pages (however, please note that if you want to assign samples
to the other three zones, this should be done in the KEYGROUP ZONES page as normal).
