same
key
twice)
or
the
entire length of the
KEYBOARD
by
hitting
the lowest and then the
highest key. The range can be any contiguous combination of notes in between the highest
and lowest note on the keyboard and completely independent and different for each zone. You
can ovelap any amount of notes from ZONE to ZONE. '
TRANSPOSE
Used to TRANSPOSE the range of keys on a ZONE up or down a specific amount of half steps
from
middle
C.
Normally
the
"3"
ZONES
have
a
TRANSPOSE
value of
"O".
This
means
that
the
middle C corresponds to the central middle "C" on the Grand Staff, (providing the stored patch
in your synthesizer module is set to the same value).
Let's say you want to transpose and raise the tone of a ZONE by 4 semitones. Enter EDIT
mode, select
the
desired
ZONE
to
be
edited,
select
the
TRANSPOSE
function
using the
UP/DOWN keys. Now hit 4 on the numerical keypad and exit the EDIT mode. Let's say you wan-
ted to lower the tone by an octave. Follow the same procedure as above but instead of hit-
ting
(4) on
the
10
key
keypad,
first
hit
the
minus
key
then
enter
12
and
exit
EDIT
mode.
You
can TRANSPOSE a maximum of +/" 24 semitones (or two octaves) by entering a positive or
negative number up to 24 (+ or -). Positive values are entered by depressing the desired num-
ber
keys
and negative values
are
entered by
first
hitting
the
(-)
key
then
the
desired number
key(s).
SUSTAIN
This FUNCTION allows you to enable or disable the SUSTAIN PEDAL for each zone. For an exam-
ple, if you want to disable the SUSTAIN PEDAL for ZONE 2: While in the EDIT MODE press
UP/DOWN
again
to
select the
SUSTAIN
function.
Now
that
SUSTAIN
is selected
(LED
switched
on),
press
the
ZONE
#2
button
to
select
ZONE
2
or
editing
and then
OFF
key
which corresponds
to
"E
flat"
on
the
numerical keypad. After
that,
all
the other
ZONES
will
be affected
by
the
SUSTAIN
PEDAL,
while
ZONE
no.
2
will
be
excluded.
To
regain
SUSTAIN
PEDAL
control
on the
excluded ZONE, select EDIT, SUSTAIN and then press ON.
An obvious application
for
this
FUNCTION
would be
to
disable
the
Sustain
Pedal
on
a ZONE
set
to
the
lower end of
the
KEYBOARD
that
is set
to
a
Bass
patch.
In
addition,
now
use
the
other
ZONES
to
play
a
Piano or Pad/String sound layer leaving
the
SUSTAIN
PEDAL
functional
for
them.
Hopefully you are starting to see even more of the possibilities now becoming available to you
using a Studio Logic Master Controller. With just a bit of creative thought on your part you
should be coming up with interesting and useful patches for your own musical needs.
WHEELS
This FUNCTION allows the user to disable or enable the two WHEELS for each of the three ZONES.
Again, as an example, if you wanted to disable the two WHEELS for ZONE 1: enter the EDIT
mode, select
ZONE
1
for
editing
(pressing
ZONE
1
button),
now
use
the
UP/DOWN
buttons
to
scroll to the WHEELS parameter selection (making sure its corresponding LED is lit,) then
select the OFF key (corresponding to middle Eb on the keyboard.) Now exit the EDIT mode by
depressing
the
ENTER/EDIT
button.
With
this
edit
all
the
other
ZONES
will
be
affected by the
WHEELS
while
ZONE
1
will
be
excluded.
To
reverse
this
edit
follow
the
same
instructions
as
above but instead select the ON button on the keyboard (corresponding to middle Db on the
keyboard.)
A
possible application
for
this
feature would
be
to
have
a
ZONE
or
ZONES
assigned
to
the
lower
part of
the
keyboard set
to
sustaining or
"Pad"
sounds,
with
the
top
ends
of these
ZONES
ending somewhere in the middle of the keyboard, leaving room for a split above it.
Perhaps
you
can
transpose
the
lower
ZONES
up
an
octave
so
that
you would play chords on
the lower part of the keyboard but sounding in the middle range closer to middle "C". Leave
the
SUSTAIN
PEDAL
enabled
but
disable
the
WHEELS
for
this
ZONE
or
ZONES.
Now use remaining ZONES to create a layer using the upper unused remaining notes on the
keyboard. Assign
this
ZONE
or
ZONES
to
a
lead patch or patches,
disable
the
SUSTAIN
PEDAL
for these ZONES but leave the WHEELS enabled.
Now you can perform and hold down chords in the lower part of the keyboard using and hol-
ding down the SUSTAIN PEDAL to "latch" the sustained chords.
Now, using both hands to play lead over the top, using the right hand to play melody and the
left
to
use
the
PITCH
and
MODULATION WHEELS,
Release
the
SUSTAIN
pedal
to
change chords
then SUSTAIN and "latch" again on the next chord and continue playing two handed leads over
the new chord.
