The virtual keyboard (available for Keygroup Programs only) shows the Note Range, which can be set in
the Key Group section. You can also drag the left or right range with your computer mouse.
Click the red bar above the virtual keyboard to set the overall key range for the selected Keygroups.
No. KG (Number of Keygroups) lets you create up to 128 Keygroups within a Keygroup
Program. This is very useful when working with multi-samples. For example, if you want to
create a realistic piano, you can use different Keygroups (e.g., 88 for a grand piano) with every
Keygroup containing its own sampled note (with up to 4 possible velocity layers). A single
Keygroup can be edited by using the KG Select parameter in the Key Group section.
Alternatively, you can select All Keygroups for simultaneous editing.
