Note Range lets you restrict the key range used for a sample's playback. Only notes with a key number
higher or equal (Lo) or lower and equal (Hi) to the selected value will trigger a sound. The settings for Lo
and Hi are also shown in the virtual keyboard in the Edit Layers section.
Tip: Set the Lo parameter to A0 and the Hi parameter to C8 to emulate the range of a standard 88-key
piano.
Semi lets you transpose the sample 12 semitones up or down, while Fine provides fine-tuning of each
layer by fractions of a semitone up or down.
Tip: The Edit Layers section has some parameters similar to those in this section (Level, Pan, Semi,
Fine, Note Range). Remember that Key Group parameters control the overall settings for the sample,
while Edit Layer parameters control the settings for each layer (up to 4).
Hardware: To edit the Key Group parameters, press the F1 button (Master). Use Q-Link Knobs Q1–Q8
for direct access of all parameters. These parameters are available only for Keygroup Programs.
