KeyRange Range: D#0 to F8
Each track has its own independent Key Range within which the track will play. Key ranges can
be used to create simple two-sound splits, or to create more complex keyboard layouts. Key
ranges control which keys will be sent out via MIDI as well as which keys will play the local
voices of the KT.
You can divide the keyboard into as many as eight different key ranges by using the eight
sequence/preset tracks. In addition, you can set the key range so that each range overlaps the
next, producing “layered” ranges in which you would hear the sounds from more than one track.
The illustration below shows an example of three tracks with overlapping key ranges. The Piano
is layered with, and partially overlaps, the Cellos on the lower end and the Flute on the upper
end.

To set a Key Range:
1. Press {EDIT_TRACK}, then the lower {2} button. The Low Key value will flash.
2. Play the key on the keyboard that you want to be the lowest key of the range. The flashing
will automatically move to the right for the High Key of the range.
3. Play the key for the highest key of the range. The new values for the range will be displayed
and the flashing will stop.
4. If you want to reset the range, simply reselect this parameter and repeat the process.
Changing the key range will not affect the playback of sequencer tracks (though it does affect
what is being recorded). Sequencer tracks will play all keys that were recorded, regardless of the
key range at the time of playback. To eliminate notes within a key range from a sequence track,
use the Erase Track command ({EDIT_SEQ/PRESET}, upper {5}, lower {2} button) and define the
key range that you want to eliminate within the command. This is explained in more detail in
Section 11 — Sequencer Parameters.
☞ Warning: If the key range is set to where the High Key is below the Low Key, then the track
will not play. To correct this situation, reselect the KeyRange parameter and reset the key
range values.
