You can also create a lower and an upper
range with a “hole” in the middle, by
specifying the highest note first. For example,
setting a Note Limit of “C5 - C4” lets you play
the element from two separate ranges: C-2 to
C4 and C5 to G8. Notes played between C4
and C5 do not play the selected element/part/
zone.
*9
You can also create separate low and high
ranges, with a velocity “hole” in the middle,
by specifying the maximum value first. For
example, setting a Velocity Limit of 93 - 34 lets
you play the element from two separate
velocity ranges: soft (1 - 34) and hard (93 -
127). Notes played at middle velocities
between 35 and 92 do not play the selected
element/part/zone.
*10
When you have selected “voice” here, some
parameters cannot be set.
*11
In Drum Key edit, this is available only when
Insertion Effect Output is set to “thru.”
*12
This parameter is effective for Waves (pre
wav) selected in the Drum Key Oscillator
Wave display (Drum Key edit).
*13
If a Normal voice has been assigned to the key,
this parameter adjusts the position of its note
(not its pitch) relative to note C3. For
example, let’s assume the original Voice
consists of a two-Element piano-like sound up
to note C3 and a two-Element string-like
sound from note C
3 upwards. Adjusting this
Coarse setting by +1 would not change the
pitch of the piano-like sound to C
3. Instead,
note C
3 of the original Voice (i.e., the string-
like sound) would be used.

00 Equal tempera-
ment
The “compromise” tuning used for
most of the last 200 years of Western
music, and found on most electronic
keyboards. Each half step is exactly
1/12 of an octave, and music can be
played in any key with equal ease.
However, none of the intervals are
perfectly in tune.
01~12 Pure major C~B This tuning is designed so that most
of the intervals (especially the major
third and perfect fifth) in the major
scale are pure. This means that other
intervals will be correspondingly out
of tune. You need to specify the key
(C~B) you will be playing in.
13~24 Pure minor
A~G
The same as Pure Major, but
designed for the minor scale.
25 Werckmeister Andreas Werckmeiser, a contempo-
rary of Bach, designed this tuning so
that keyboard instruments could be
played in any key. Each key has a
unique character.
26 Kirnberger Johann Philipp Kirnberger was also
concerned with tempering the scale
to allow performances in any key.
27 Vallotti & Young Francescatonio Vallotti and Thomas
Young (both mid-1700s) devised this
adjustment to the Pythagorean tuning
in which the first six fifths are lowered
by the same amount.
28 1/4 shifted This is the normal equal tempered
scale shifted up 50 cents.
29 1/4 tone Twenty-four equally spaced notes per
octave. (Play twenty-four notes to
move one octave.)
30 1/8 tone Forty-eight equally spaced notes per
octave. (Play forty-eight notes to
move one octave.)
31 Indian C~B Usually observed in Indian music
(white keys [C~B] only).
