4. Press the Multisample popup for MS1.
This brings up a list of Multisamples, organized by
category. Use the tabs at the left of the display to
browse through the different categories.
5. Select a Multisample by touching its name in the
list.
6. Press the OK button to confirm your selection.
7. Perform the same steps for MS2, selecting a
different Multisample than for MS1.
Now that you’ve assigned Multisamples to MS1 and
MS2, let’s set up the velocity ranges and crossfades.
Set MS2’s Bottom Vel. to 001, and its Xfade Range to 0.
8. Set MS1’s Bottom Vel. to 80.
Now, MS2 will sound when you play softly, at
velocities of 79 or less–and MS1 will sound when you
play harder, with velocities of 80 or more.
Next, set MS1’s Xfade Range to 20, and its Curve to
Linear.
9. You can view this split visually in
the Prog P2: OSC/Pitch– Velocity
Zone page.
Notice that the graphic now shows the
two ranges tapering into one another.
Between 80 and 100, MS2 will fade out,
and MS1 will fade in, creating a
gradual velocity transition instead of a
hard split.
10.As necessary, adjust the “Level” of
the two multisamples in the Prog
P2: OSC/Pitch– OSC1 Basic page.
Copying settings between OSC1 &
OSC2
Many of the Program parameters can be set differently
for OSC1 and OSC2. These include all of the
parameters on:
• All of the tabs on the OSC/Pitch page, except for
the Pitch EG
• All of the tabs on the Filter page
• All of the tabs on the Amp/EQ page, except for EQ
• All of the tabs on the LFO page, except for
Common LFO
• The AMS Mixer tabs
You can use the menu’s Copy Oscillator command to
copy these parameters from one Oscillator to another.
You can even copy parameters from an Oscillator in a
different Program.
This command is useful when you want to set both
Oscillators to the same settings, or when you want to
duplicate settings you’ve used before.
Assigning a drum kit
What is a drum kit?
Drum kits are created or edited in Global mode. To
each note of the keyboard, you can assign up to four
drum instrument samples, and use layering,
crossfading, or velocity switching to switch between
them. Then in Program mode you can make filter and
amp settings, and specify effects and routing to the
audio output jacks. (See “Editing Drum Kits” on
page 136)
To use a drum kit in a Program, set Oscillator Mode to
Drums, and choose one of the 144 user drum kits or the
nine GM2 drum kits.
Selecting a drum kit
1. Access the Prog P1: Basic/DT/Ctrls– Program Basic
page.
2. Set “Oscillator Mode” to Drums.
3. Select a drum kit in the Prog P2: OSC/Pitch– OSC1
Basic page.
4. Specify the basic pitch of the oscillator. For a drum
kit, set “Octave” to +0 [8'].
