Keyboard & Velocity Ranges
Keyboard & Velocity Ranges
When editing the keyboard and velocity ranges of preset links, an editing screen similar to the one shown on the previous page appears.
The bars at the right side of the screen give a graphic display of how the presets are placed on the keyboard. The key position is edited by placing the cursor over the desired parameter and then playing the MIDI keyboard or adjusting the Data Entry Control.
v To Positionally Crossfade
The Fade parameters allow the volume of the preset to be faded out as a function of key position. In the Link screen shown below, the two presets are being positionally crossfaded over a range of one octave.

|
|
As you play up the keyboard in the C2-C3 octave range, the Synth Pad |
|
preset will gradually fade out as the Singing Electric preset fades in. This is |
|
shown on the display by the range bars fading out and in. |
|
This technique can help mask the point at which two sounds meet. The |
|
presets are assigned so that they overlap by a few keys, then the fades are |
|
programmed so that one sound fades out as the other fades in. |
Note: Make sure the |
• If two External Links were selected in the example above, using two dif- |
external devices are set up to |
ferent MIDI channels instead of two different presets, the volumes of |
respond to MIDI channel |
the two external devices would be positionally crossfaded over the one |
volume. |
octave range between C2 and C3. |
