Kurzweil Artis SE - Parameter Assignments; The Split Function

Program Mode
Parameter Assignments
6-6
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.
Parameter Assignments
In Program Mode, each Program has factory set Program and Eect parameters assigned
to physical controllers (Sliders, Switch buttons, Mod Wheel, and Pedals). A parameter
assignment can modify an instrument sound during a performance to add variation or
expression. Moving a controller changes the value of the parameter. Any time you do this,
the display shows the Controller name, assigned parameter, and value.
For most programs, the Sliders labeled Filter-A and Filter-B are assigned to lter or EQ
parameters in order to control brightness. e Slider labeled FX B is usually assigned to
control reverb amount, and the Slider labeled FX A is sometimes assigned to control delay
amount or another eect. e remaining controls may have dierent assignments depending
on the selected Program.
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers, the Save button’s
LED lights to indicate that a change has been made to that Program. For more information
on the Save button, see Save User Programs on page 6-11.
The Split Function
e Split Function allows you to split Programs such that keys in one region of the keyboard
produce dierent sounds than another region.
When you create a Split in Program Mode, you are in fact creating a Multi with two
active Zones (see Multi Mode on page 7-1, for more information on Multis). Multis
are congurations of four Zones, each of which may have its own Program and controller
assignments.
e Split Function is convenient, as you do not need to use Multi Edit Mode to congure
Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. You can simply hit the Split button, and the Artis
SE automatically creates a Multi with two active Zones. e Program you were initially using
in Program Mode is used in the right hand of the Split, as the Program for Zone 1.
After hitting the Split button you can choose a “Split Program” that will be used in the left
hand of the Split as the Program for Zone 2.
Once you have saved your Split as a User Multi, you can continue to add Split or Layer
Zones to the Multi until you reach the maximum of four active Zones. e Artis SE will
display a message if you have already reached the maximum of four active Zones (see Multi
Mode on page 7-1, for more information on Multis).
