Chapter 6 Working in Edit Mode 57

Floating split points can be explained using an example. If you set the Low Key of a key

range to C1, set a floating split point value of 3, then play notes immediately above C1

(for example, the notes F1-Eb1-D1), and continue playing downward past C1 (for

example, the notes C1-Bb0-A0) the split point moves down to include those notes, up

to the floating split point value (3 semitones). If, however, you start by playing notes

immediately below the Low Key (for example, the notes G0-A0-B0) and continue

playing upward past C1 (for example, the notes C1-D1-E1), the split point moves up to

include those notes, up to the floating split point value. (In this example, C1 and D1

would be included, but not E1, which is four semitones above the Low Key.)

To set floating split points for a key range:

1 Set a floating split point for the Low Key by entering a value in the Low Key Floating

Split value slider. You can type an integer value, click the arrows to increment or

decrement the value, or drag the slider to set the number of notes used for the split.

2 Set a floating split point for the High Key by entering a value in the High Key Floating

Split value slider. You can type an integer value, click the arrows to increment or

decrement the value, or drag the slider to set the number of notes used for the split.

You can also create a keyboard split by adding a channel strip at the set level and

adjusting the key range of the channel strips in the patches in the set. The channel

strip at the set level takes precedence over any channel strips in patches in the set for

the notes in its key range. For information about adding a channel strip at the set level,

see “Working at the Set Level” on page 64.

Overriding Concert- and Set-Level Key Ranges

If a software instrument channel strip exists at the concert level, the concert-level

channel strip takes precedence over any patch-level software instrument channel strips

within its key range. This means that when you play any notes in the key range of the

concert-level channel strip on a keyboard controller, you hear only the concert-level

channel strip, even when a patch is selected.

Similarly, if a software instrument channel strip exists at the set level, the same

condition applies for all patches in the set. That is, the set-level channel strip takes

precedence over any patch-level channel strips within its key range.

You can override concert- or set-level channel strips for a channel strip on an individual

patch, so that the patch-level channel strip takes precedence over the concert-level or

set-level channel strips.

To override concert- or set-level key ranges:

1 In the Patch List, select the patch with the channel strip that you want to override the

concert- or set-level channel strip.

2 In the Channel Strips area, select the channel strip with the key range that you want to

override the concert- or set-level key range.
