Lower Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8) Page 4
Each Sound can be restricted to a specific range of the keyboard. This is ideal for
creating splits (e.g., bass on the lower keys, piano in the middle, and strings in the
upper octave).
The Lower Limit specifies the lowest note of the Sound’s keyboard range. You can set
the lower limit when you're on this page by holding [80] and tapping a key on the
keyboard.
High Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8) Page 5
Specifies the highest note of the Sound’s keyboard range. You can set the high limit
when you're on this page by holding [80] and tapping a key on the keyboard.

By setting the lower limit above the high limit, you can create a “hole in the middle”
effect. This makes the Sound appear to have two zones. All notes from the bottom of
the keyboard to the high limit note will play, and all notes from the lower limit note
to the top of the keyboard will play, but the notes between the high limit and the
lower limit will not play. This can be further enhanced in Mix Mode by using the
Range function in Mix Edit Mode to cap-off the low and high limits. TIP:
