Sequential Take 5 Compact Synthesizer - Manual (Page 17)

8 Setting Up the Take 5 Sequential
Using Low Split
The Take 5 has a useful feature called
low split
that allows you to make
wider use of its 44-note keyboard by dividing the keyboard into two
separate key ranges. You can set the split point to your preference.
In essence it enables you to transpose the lower half of the keyboard
either 1 or 2 octaves lower than normal.
By default the split point is set to middle C in the Basic Program, but you
can set it to a different point according to your preference. This makes it
possible to play lower-register bass parts with your left hand while play-
ing chords or lead parts with your right hand. The program is the same
for both key ranges.
To use Low Split:
1. Chose an appropriate sound.
2. Press the
-1
oct
button to activate the Low Split point feature and
transpose the pitch of notes below middle C down by 1 octave.
3. Alternatively, press the -2
oct
button to activate the Low Split point
feature and transpose the pitch of notes below middle C down by 2
octaves.
To set a custom Low Split point:
1. Chose an appropriate sound.
2. Press and hold both the
low split
- 1
oct
button and -2
oct
button. The
Low Split parameters appear in the display.
3. Either press the desired key/split point on the Take 5 keyboard, or use
the
value
knob to set the split point to your preference.
4. Release the - 1
oct
button and -2
oct
buttons.
