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

button and

the

value

knob to set the split point to your preference.
