Combo Parameters
MIDI Mode:
see table Selects the Program to use for this Part.
Display
MIDI mode
Off
This Part will not respond to MIDI
Notes
This Part only responds to MIDI notes
Cntrls
This Part only responds to MIDI controller
messages
On All
This Part responds to both MIDI notes and MIDI
controller messages
MIDI Ch:
1…16, All Selects the MIDI channel to use for this Part. If All is
selected, it responds to any MIDI channel. If MIDI Mode is set to Off, this parameter is
ignored.
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 over 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.
Lo 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.
