MAPPING OUT YOUR KEYGROUPS - SETTING KEYSPAN

Pressing will display this screen:

This is where you can set up the note ranges for the keygroup. You can see a graphic

representation of the keyboard to the left of the screen. As you adjust the LOW and HIGH

parameters for a keygroup, you will see its range depicted in the graphic representation of

the keyboard to the screen’s left. The notes may be represented by name or as note

number simply by pressing the SPAN soft key again.

The above screen display shows a simple program with one keygroup in it. This next

screen shows a typical program with several keygroups side by side.

The parameters are as follows:

This toggles between ONE and ALL and allows you to choose between

editing either one single keygroup or all keygroups simultaneously. You will

find this function of every keygroup page and it can be invaluable in

making up and editing programs quickly. In a complex program, you may

select ALL to do all the basic work and then switch to ONE to individually

fine tune the keygroups.

Below this field are the keygroups and their note ranges can be seen

alongside them. You may move the cursor directly down this line using the

cursor keys for quick access to a particular keygroup.

Below these two fields are shown the lowest and highest notes for the

keygroups. These may be set by moving the cursor to them and using the

DATA control to input notes or, when displaying the notes numerically, you

may type in a number from the numeric keypad. Another way to input

notes is directly from the keyboard.

By setting the soft key to ON and placing the cursor on the

low note of keygroup 1, as you play the keyboard, so the notes will be

entered. The cursor will jump to each low and high note in the list

eventually ‘wrapping round’ to rest on KG1. This is a very fast way to set

up keygroup note spans and a whole program can be set up in seconds!

NOTE: If ALL is selected in the

field, changing a value in the low or high fields will

affect ALL notes equally. Pay attention because you could seriously affect your program’s

keyspan with one slip. You will note that this does not apply when inputting notes from the

keyboard and

is on.
