Chapter 2: Playing the DG8
38 DG8 REFERENCE MANUAL
Split Mode
A Split is simply a Bass Program played with a Primary Sound: the Bass Program
will be played from the lower range of keys and the Primary Sound will play from
the upper range.
As with Primary Sounds, each Bass Bank button represents a group of four related
Bass Programs that are selected with the
▲ and ▼ arrows:
Tip: Before proceeding, raise the SPLIT slider all the way to the top.
At this position, the output level of the Bass Program – the SPLIT
sound – is approximately equal to the Primary Sound. You can
then use the slider to lower the level of the Split sound relative to
the Primary Sound (which remains constant) if necessary.
Bear in mind that if the SPLIT slider is all the way off (at the
bottom), the Bass Program will not be heard when a Split is
selected.
• To create a Split, just press any of the Bass Bank buttons. The last Bass Program
that was used in that Bank will be recalled and its label will appear in the
SPLIT
segment of the display. Use the ▲ and ▼ arrows, if necessary, to select the
desired Bass Program in the Bank. The current Primary Sound will be used as
the sound in the upper range of keys.
• After you set up a Split, you can change the sounds in the Split:
- To change the Split sound to another Program in the same Bank, press the
PLAY button to move the cursor to the SPLIT display, then use the the ▲ or ▼
arrows to select another Bass Program in the Bank.
- If you want to change the Split sound to another Bank, just press another
Bass Bank button. Use the the
▲ or ▼ arrows (if necessary) to select another
Program in the Bank.
- To change the Primary sound to another Program in the same Bank, press
the
PLAY button to move the cursor to the PRIMARY SOUND display. Then use
the the
▲ or ▼ arrows to select another Program in the Bank.
- If you want to change the Primary sound to another Bank, simply press
another Keyboard Bank button (in this case it doesn’t matter where the
cursor is; pressing a Keyboard Bank button automatically changes the
Primary).
