Sampling and Sample Editing

immediately become available again, since they have no amplitude. But for one brief instant,
the voice would be triggered, which could cause other voices to be cut off.
You can also create multi-velocity keymapsÑthat is, keymaps that will play different timbres
depending on the attack velocities of your Note On events. The program Dual Electric Piano,
for example, uses a keymap with two velocity ranges. Each key range in a multi-velocity
keymap contains two or three distinct sample roots that the K2vx chooses between, according
to the attack velocity of the note. When in the Keymap Editor, you can select the different
velocity ranges within a keymap using the CHAN/BANK buttons. To create your own multi-
velocity keymaps, start in Program mode by selecting a program that contains a multi-velocity
keymap. Most of these programs are identiÞed by the word ÒDualÓ in their names. Then select
the KEYMAP page, and press EDIT to enter the Keymap Editor. From there you can change the
sample root assigned to each velocity level in each key range. The description of the Velocity
Crossover parameter on page 15-36 has more information.
The Keymap Editor is nested within the Program Editor. The Þrst step in using the Keymap
Editor is to select the keymap you want to edit. This is done on the KEYMAP page in the
Program Editor, using the Keymap parameter. Once youÕve done this, just press the EDIT
button, and youÕll enter the Keymap Editor. If you want to edit a different keymap, return to
the KEYMAP page in the Program Editor and select the desired keymap. If you want to build a
keymap from scratch, start with the keymap 168 Silence (see ÒBuilding a KeymapÓon page 15-
37). This keymap template contains one key range from C 0 to G 10, and is a convenient starting
point for adding key ranges and assigning sample roots. The Keymap Editor page looks like
this:

The top line of this page tells you which velocity range youÕre currently looking at. If the
current keymap is a multi-velocity keymap, the CHAN/BANK buttons let you select between
the velocity ranges. The velocity range is set with the Velocity Crossover parameter(s),
described on page 15-36.
The Soft Buttons in the Keymap Editor
The Þrst four soft buttons execute the basic library functions, enabling you to name, save, or
delete the current keymap, or dump it via a MIDI SysEx message.
