5: NOTE LIMIT

[MENU] 5:Note Limit [ENTER/YES]
The low and high note limit parameters make it possible to create a range of split
keyboard effects using the performance layers. You could have two layers on either
side of a single split point, a four-way split keyboard, or any other possible combina-
tion.
PERFORMANCE EDIT MODE / 1:Layer
The name of the currently selected voice/layer is shown in the upper right
corner of the display. The characters “ABCD” to the right of the voice name
indicate the status of each voice: a capital letter if the voice is on, a lower-case
letter if the voice is muted, and a dash if the voice is off.
Lo (Low note limit)
Range: C-2 G8
Controls: [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial,
[SHIFT]+keyboard
Individually sets the low note limit for each active layer (the lowest note
that each layer will produce).
Use the [CS1], [CS3], [CS5], and [CS7] sliders to set the low note limits of
the A, B, C, and D layer voices, respectively. It is also possible to press the
desired note on the keyboard while holding the [SHIFT] key.
The C-2 to G8 range of this parameter covers a full 10-1/2 octaves. “C3”
corresponds to “middle C” on a keyboard.
This parameter, in conjunction with the High Note Limit parameter de-
scribed below, allows the sound from a layer to be limited to a specific region
of the keyboard. If the Low Note Limit is set to C3 and the High Note Limit
for the same layer is set to C4, for example, the sound from that layer will
only be produced between C3 and C4 — the octave immediately above middle
C. This makes it simple to produce split voices.
If the High Note Limit is set to a note that is
lower than the Low Note
Limit for the same layer, the notes between the high and low limits will not
sound.
Voices that are turned off are indicated by “---” on the display.
