Keyboard Ranges

O Samples can be arranged in a voice in exactly the same way that voices are arranged on the keyboard. They can be arranged side by side on the keyboard to minimize the negative effects of pitch shifting or stacked on top of each other to create huge layered sounds, all within a single voice.

v To Switch Voices According to Position

Assigning voices (samples or multisamples) adjacent to each other is the simplest and most common application of the Key Window. This is also the way samples are “Auto-Placed” in the Sample Manage module. The voices in the screen below are each assigned a one octave range.

Another way of visualizing this assignment is shown below.

The ranges of two or more voices may overlap, and all voices assigned to a key will sound.

1.Press the Preset Edit key. The LED illuminates and the main preset edit screen appears.

2.Press the Voices function key (F5) to select the voice edit pages of the editor. The Voices function key will be highlighted.

3.Press the Next Page key. The Voices - Key Window appears.

4.Edit the High and Low keys of the voice ranges so they overlap as shown in the screen below. Both voices will now sound when their key range is played.

Velocity Window Controls

Voices -Velocity Window

The Velocity Window of the Voices screen is accessed by pressing the Next Page key on the front panel from the Voices - Key Window screen. A screen similar to the one shown above appears. In the screen above, the two voices will be “velocity-switched” at a key velocity of 64. At key velocities below 64, voice 1 will play; at key velocities of 64 and above, voice 2 will play.

Group Field: The group number of the voice can be changed using the numeric keypad or Data Entry Control.

Sample Name & Number: The voice's sample(s) can be changed from this window using the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys.

Velocity Controls: These controls set the high and low velocity range and the crossfade range for each voice and sample.

Velocity Range

Velocity Range

The Velocity Range screen allows you to control the volume of a voice by the key velocity. Using this function, you can crossfade or cross-switch between voices by key velocity. Suppose you had several samples (voices) of the same piano note, one played soft, the next played medium hard, and the third played hard. Using this function, you could set the velocity at which each of the voices would sound, thus recreating the response of the actual instrument.

2.Press the Voices function key (F5) to select the voice edit page of the editor. The Voices function key will be highlighted.

3.Press the Next Page key. The Voices - Key Window appears.

4.Edit the High and Low Key Range of the voices so they completely overlap each other. In order to velocity crossfade voices, they must first be assigned to the same keyboard range.

5.Press the Next Page key. The Voices - Velocity Window appears.

6.The default velocity range is from 0-127 or full range. Set the velocity fades so that voice one fades out the higher the key velocity, while voice 2 fades in, the higher the key velocity. At a velocity of 64, the two sounds will be equal volume. Adjust the fade-in and fade-out points to achieve a natural sounding crossfade. The actual crossfade points will vary depending on the sounds.

Realtime Window Controls

Voices - Realtime Window

The Realtime Window lets you control the volume of any number of voices using a realtime controller such as a modulation wheel, a pedal or an LFO or Envelope Generator. It works in a manner very similar to the velocity window except that a realtime controller is used to control the crossfade instead of velocity.

The Realtime Window of the Voices screen is accessed by pressing the Next Page key on the front panel three times from the Main Voices screen.

_ Realtime Crossfading is one of the more “advanced” applications of the machine. Make sure you understand how to select voices and assign cords before attempting to perform realtime crossfades.

v To Realtime Crossfade Voices:

1.Press the Preset Edit key. The LED illuminates and the main preset edit screen appears.

2.Press the Voices function key (F5) to select the voice edit page of the editor. The Voices function key will be highlighted.

3.Press the Next Page key. The Voices - Key Window appears.

4.Edit the High and Low Key Range of the voices so they completely overlap each other. In order to velocity crossfade voices, they must first be assigned to the same keyboard range.

5.Press the Next Page key twice. The Voices - Realtime Window appears.

6.Set the realtime range of each voice. The next screen shows the realtime ranges set so that voice one will begin fading in after the realtime controller reaches a value of 32. Voice two will begin fading out when the realtime control reaches 32 and fades completely out by a value of 80.

7.So far so good, but this is a Realtime Range. We have to assign a realtime Controller to control the crossfade. Press EditVce to enter the Dynamic Processing level.

8.Press the Utils function key (F1).

9.Press the VSelect function key (F2) to bring up the voice selection screen.

10.Select all voices you wish to realtime crossfade. Press OK.

11.Press the Cords function key (F5). The patchcord assign screen appears.

12.Assign one of the realtime control sources such as the mod wheel or an LFO to AmpXfd. Turn up the Amount parameter to 100%. You should be able to hear the crossfade.

13.Adjust the crossfade ranges and the AmpXfd amount until the crossfade responds correctly.

In certain situations, such as setting up drum kits, you may want to randomly switch between several voices. Crossfade Random is a modulation source specifically designed to handle this situation. Unlike the other random sources, Crossfade Random generates one random number for all voices that are assigned to the same key.
