Kurzweil Artis SE - Layer; Transpose -;+ and Octave

Features of the Artis SE
Function Buttons
3-9
Layer
Pressing the Layer Button while in either Program or Multi Mode performs the Layer
Function, creating a new zone using the entire keyboard range. is allows you to layer
Programs and Multis such that more than one sound can be produced by striking a single
key.
Hitting Layer in Program Mode automatically puts the Artis SE into Multi Mode. From
there, the layered program can be saved as a User Multi.
In Multi Mode, if all four zones are already employed, a Layer cannot be performed, and the
display will read “No more zones.”
Transpose -/+ and Octave
e Transpose – and + and Octave buttons are located at the left of the Artis SE display,
just below the Mode buttons
e Transpose buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the Artis SE
keyboard in semitones (ST), also known as half steps. is is a convenient way to change
the key of a song without learning to play it in a dierent key. e Transpose buttons also
transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI out ports.
Press the Transpose – or + buttons to transpose the Artis SE keyboard down or up by one
semitone. e top line of the display shows the current transposition value. To transpose up
and down by octave intervals (12 ST), press the Octave button, then select Transpose + or
Transpose – .
e maximum transposition value possible is +/–36 semitones.
e LEDs of the Transpose buttons indicate whether the current Program is transposed
up (Transpose + LED is lit) or transposed down (Transpose – LED is lit). When there
is no transposition, neither Transpose button is lit. Pressing both Transpose – and +
simultaneously will reset the transposition to 0.
