Volume: 0…100 – Sets the Volume level for this Part.

Low Key: C -2…C 8 – This parameter, along with the High Key parameter following,
sets the keyboard range that this part will respond to. The frequency covers a 10
octave range, from 8 Hz to 8KHz, stepping in semitones. C3 is middle C (MIDI note
60). The keyboard range is used for setting up keyboard splits, for example when Part
1 is set from C-2 to C2 with one voice (unison), and Part 2 is set from C#2 to C 8 with
3 voices (Poly 3).

Or, you may want to stack two voices, by setting two Parts to Poly 2, and setting both
keyboard ranges to the same range (C-2 to C8). You can even stack four Unison
Parts, each with a different Program, for a super-thick mono synth.

High Key: C -2…C 8 – This parameter sets the high keyboard limit for this Part in
conjunction with the Low Key parameter.

Low Velocity: 0…127 – This parameter, along with the Hi Velocity parameter
following, sets the velocity range this Part responds to. This is useful for setting a
velocity split point, so one Part plays at low velocity notes, and another plays at higher
velocities. Or, you could set multiple velocity split points.

Hi Velocity: 0…127 – This parameter, along with the Lo Velocity parameter following,
sets the velocity range this Part responds to.
