At this time the keyboard is asking you at what key location on the keyboard
would you like your first split. You will see a number in the screen. No matter
what that number is now, please press 27 on the numeric key pad. This number
will flash. Now press the ENTER key to lock this position into the memory of the
keyboard. You have just set parameter 00 (SPLIT LEFT) to the 27th key on the
keyboard, that is musically speaking, B in the 3rd octave or B3. Repeat this process
a couple of times in order to get a feel for the programming.
Let's move on. Now press parameter 01 on the numeric key pad.
At this point the LEDs will flash number 01, now press the ENTER key. This
procedure will lock parameter 01 into position and move the red light to the
VALUE function. The keyboard is now asking you at what key location on the
keyboard would you like your second split. At this time you will see a number in
the screen. No matter what that number is now, please press 63 on the numeric
key pad. This number will flash. Press the ENTER key to lock this position into the
memory of the keyboard. You have just set parameter 01 (SPLIT
RIGHT) to the 63rd key on the keyboard that is musically speaking, B in the 6th
octave or B6. Repeat this process a couple of times in order to get a feel for the
programming.
At this time, the controller's program has three zones. Zone one is from A1 to B3,
zone two is from B#3 to B6 and zone three is from B#6 to the highest key of the
keyboard. This is where things could get confusing, but do not let it. Remember,
you want to get one
* Note: From here on out you must program a VALUE for every parameter in use.
VALUE could mean anything from a key location to transposition to program
change. We will see how this VALUE works in other situations later on in this text.
For now let's just stay with parameter 00 and 01.
sound across the keyboard. How do you do this if there are three zones across the
keyboard? The answer is simple. Locate parameters 08, 09 and 10, these are the
midi channel parameters or as the parameter chart refers to it as CHANNEL MIDI 1,
2, and 3. Set each VALUE to number 01, using the method that you already have
learned. More about midi channels later.
TRANSPOSER:
Locate parameter 02 through 04 on the parameter chart at top of the keyboard that
are clearly marked as TRANSPOSER 1, 2, and 3. Use these functions for
transposition. Why are there three TRANSPOSER functions? The answer is, there
are three zones, so there must be a control for transposition for each zone. Again,
look at the parameter chart on top of the keyboard. The number 02 refers to the
parameter number, TRANSPOSER refer to the transposition function and 1 refers to
zone #1. The same idea applies to parameter 03 and 04 except they refer to
TRANSPOSER 2 and 3 for zones 2 and 3. The TRANSPOSER function VALUES are
between 00 and 11. These numbers represent semi-tone transposition. You can
program each zone up to 11 semi-tones. However, you may only transpose up
with these parameters. Do not worry, you can transpose down with the help of the
next set of parameters called OCTAVE. Before using the OCTAVE function, you
must realize that a VALUE of 00 represents NO transposition. This is important for
having one sound across the keyboard chromatically. If on the other hand you
need to have some type of transposition, just enter the number of semi-tones you
desire.
Example: To program a minor third up you must enter a value of 03 to get the desired result, for a major
fifth, enter a value of 07 and so on. After you complete this exercise please enter the value 00 in parameters 02,
03, and 04. In order to create a chromatic state across the keyboard you must adjust the OCTAVE parameters.
OCTAVE:
Parameters 05, 06, and 07 refer to OCTAVES 1, 2, and 3. This function controls
octave transposition within each zone.
The VALUES of these parameters are 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05,
06, and 07. 70 being seven octaves below the natural setting of a piano and 07
being seven octave above. 60 is six octaves below, 06 being six octaves above and
so on. VALUE 00 has absolutely no transposition. To create one chromatic sound
across the keyboard, set each VALUE for parameters 05, 06, and 07 to VALUE 00.
You should now have one chromatic sound across the keyboard without any
transposition. If you have reached this point with no problems, please take a break
and play your heart out. If you have a problem, please go over each parameter.
You might have missed one or two. When you find the incorrect parameter, please
correct it, then celebrate. At this point you are half way there.
