Keyboard Ranges
Remember to SAVE the bank to disk or all your programming will be lost.
O To create a really high quality voice, you might want to sample every third note or even every note.
More samples are usually better, but the playing technique used while sampling becomes critical the more samples are used!
Keyboard Ranges
When a sample is recorded, it is automatically placed in a voice and assigned a keyboard range specified in the “Auto-Placement” parameters in the Sample Management module. The Key Range Window allows you to edit these assignments and place the voices and samples wherever you want.

A voice containing only one sample takes the name of the sample. If a voice contains more than one sample, it is called a “♦multisample♦” and the samples it contains are listed below it.
The bars at the right side of the screen give a graphic display of how the voices and samples are assigned to the keyboard. Voices are shown as solid black bars, while Samples are displayed as hollow bars. Voice keyboard range assignments supersede the assignments of the samples they contain.
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. Voices and samples can be crossfaded according to key position by adjusting the low and high fade parameters. The fade is adjusted in “number of keys” and is graphically represented by a gradual decrease in the height of the bars.
