The Layer Editor tab in the Channel Strip Inspector shows the key range for each channel
strip in a patch and in the concert or set containing the patch (if either includes a channel
strip with a key range). You can define the key range for a channel strip in one of several
ways: you can drag the edges of the layer, use the Learn buttons to define the Low and
High keys, or use the Low Key and High Key value sliders.
