Þnished. Yes, butÉ
Suppose you used the technique we described above to assign a vocal sample whose root was
C 4 to a key range from A 3 to E 4. Then you assigned the same sample to a key range from F 4
to B 4. You might be surprised to Þnd that when you Þnished the F 4ÐB 4 key range and the
Keymap Editor page reappeared, the current key range would not be F 4 to B 4, but A 3 to B 4!
This is because the K2vx automatically merges adjacent key ranges that are identical (this is
done to save memory). Therefore, some parameter must be different in each adjacent key range
you create if you want to build keymaps using the technique we just described. So if you want
to use the same samples in adjacent key ranges with, for example, minor pitch or volume
modiÞcation, you should make those changes to the current sample on the Keymap Editor page
before assigning the next range.
