Key Split
Eighty Eight's Key Split feature lets you set Zones on the keyboard that each
correspond to a different sound within the Patch (e.g., one Zone triggers a
piano sound while another Zone triggers a bass sound).
Important:
• You can use Key Split only when using a Patch with the Key Split Combis Attribute (by
default), as shown in the Browser.
• A Key Split Combi Patches have two Zones or three Zones.
• Although you can save your own versions of the Key Split Combi Patches, you cannot
create new combination Patches using different sounds.
Zones can overlap each other, or they can be discrete. You do not need to include every key
on the keyboard in a Zone; keys can be in neither Zone and, therefore, will produce no sound.
To display the Key Split Zones, click the Show button next to the virtual keyboard. The Zones
will appear as differently shaded boxes over the keys. (When you first use Key Split, both
Zones will span the entire keyboard length, so it will initially seem as if there is only one large
Zone.) To hide them again, click the Show button again.
