Keymap and Sample Editing
The Keymap Editor
5-6
On the VEL RANGES page, the currently selected velocity range is highlighted in the chart,
and its name is displayed in the VelRange eld. With the VelRange eld selected, you can
use the Alpha Wheel or Previous-/Next+ buttons to move between the available velocity
ranges (if there is more than one velocity range available). You can also use the CHANNEL/
LAYER/ZONE/TRACK buttons at any time to move between the available velocity ranges.
If there is more than one velocity range available, you can adjust the dynamic range of each
using Lo and Hi parameters. ese Hi and Lo parameters are the same as the Low Velocity
(Lo) and High Velocity (Hi) parameters on the Edit Keymap page (see “Low Velocity (Lo),
High Velocity (Hi)” on page 5-4 for details). Changes made with either set of parameters
are shown on both pages.
New Range (NEWRNG)
e NEWRNG soft button lets you dene a new Key Range to edit, whether it’s to assign
a dierent sample, or to adjust the pitch or volume. Just press NEWRNG, then play the
note you want as the low note, then the high note. e K2700 will prompt you for each
note. When you trigger the high note, you’ll return to the Keymap Editor page, and the new
Key Range you dened will be selected. e next change you make will aect only that edit
range.
If you set a new Key Range that’s completely within an existing key range, the existing
key range will be split into two Key Ranges, with the new Key Range between the two. At
this point, you must change at least one parameter of the new Key Range before editing a
dierent Key Range, otherwise the new Key Range will be merged with the adjacent Key
Ranges. If you set a new Key Range that overlaps part or all of another key range, the sample
assigned to the lower key range will be applied to the new Key Range. Again, at this point
you must change at least one parameter of the new Key Range before editing a dierent
Key Range, otherwise the new Key Range will be merged with the lower Key Range that it
overlapped.
ASSIGN
e ASSIGN soft button lets you select a sample, then specify the key range to which it’s
assigned. is enables you to insert a new key range within the current Keymap. When you
press the ASSIGN soft button, a dialog appears that prompts you to select a sample from the
Samples list. Scroll through the list, then press the OK soft button. You’ll then be prompted
to dene the new key range by playing the notes you want to be the lowest and highest notes
of the range. (Press the Cancel soft button if you change your mind.) When you trigger the
low and high notes, the new key range is inserted. If the new key range partially overlaps an
adjacent key range, the existing key range will be adjusted to accommodate the new range.
If the new key range completely overlaps an existing key range, the original key range will be
replaced.
DELETE
Press the DELETE soft button to delete the current Keymap (factory Keymaps can not be
deleted).
