Pitch; Setting The Range And Midi Switches - Alesis QuadraSynth Plus Reference Manual

Pitch

The Pitch function lets you transpose a channel's Program in either semitone or
octave increments. By using both parameters together, you have a total
transposition range of ±3 octaves.

Setting the Range and MIDI Switches

Each sound can be restricted to a specific range of the keyboard. This is ideal for
creating splits (e.g., bass in the lower octave and a half, piano in the middle three
octaves, and strings in the upper octave). When you start to setup a MIX, it may
be confusing if many of the channels have their Keyboard parameter turned off.
In order to hear anything on a particular channel, enable Keyboard control and
set the Range so that the low note and high note values are set beyond where you
want to play. Look at the MIDI MONITOR section of the display. A thick line
will appear above any active MIDI channels as you play notes or send notes to
the QuadraSynth Plus from a sequencer on those channels.
Range (Page 1)
QuadraSynth Plus Piano Reference Manual
Octave (-2 to +2 octaves)
This transposes the Program's pitch in octave (12 semitone) steps
from -2 (transposed down 2 octaves) to +2 (transposed up two
octaves).
Semitone (-12 to +12 semitones)
This transposes the Program's pitch in semitone steps, from -12
(transposed down one octave) to +12 (transposed up one octave).
Lower Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the lowest note of the sound's keyboard range. You can
set the lower limit by holding Quad Switch [1] and tapping the
key on the keyboard you want to set as the lowest note in the
range.
High Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the highest note of the sound's keyboard range. You
can set the high limit by holding Quad Switch [2] and tapping
the key on the keyboard you want to set as the highest note in
the range.
J
If the lower limit is set above the high limit, there will be no sound from
this program layer.
