The Soft Buttons in the Keymap Editor

Toggle
Pressing the Toggle soft button switches the function that the Chan/Layer buttons perform
while on the EditKeymap page. Press the Toggle soft button to toggle the top line between
displaying KeyRange or VelRange. If the top line of the page displays KeyRange, then the
Chan/Layer buttons will scroll between the available key ranges in the key map (if the current
key map has more than one key range.) The note range for each key range will also be displayed
on the top line. If the top line of the page displays VelRange, then the Chan/Layer buttons will
scroll between the available velocity ranges in the key map (if the current key map has more
than one velocity range.) The dynamic range for each velocity range will also be displayed on
the top line.
Velocity Ranges (VelRng)
Press the VelRng soft button to view the VEL RANGES page (see below.) Use the VEL RANGES
page to add, edit or delete velocity ranges for the current keymap. The VEL RANGES page
shows a chart of a keymap's entire available dynamic range, from most quiet (ppp) to most loud
(fff.) Velocity ranges can also be adjusted from the EditKeymap page, but the VEL RANGES
page provides a chart as a visual aid. Each keymap can be split into a maximum of eight velocity
ranges. Each key range in a keymap can use its own sample for each velocity range. All key
ranges in a keymap share the same velocity ranges.
Press the Split soft button to split the currently selected velocity range into two ranges (until the
maximum of eight velocity ranges have been created.) Press the Delete soft button to delete the
currently selected velocity range. Press the Exit soft button to return to the EditKeymap page.
On the VEL RANGES page, the currently selected velocity range is highlighted in the chart, and
its name is displayed in the VelRange field. With the VelRange field selected, you can use the
Alpha Wheel or ‐/+ buttons to move between the available velocity ranges (if there is more than
one velocity range available.) You can also use the Chan/Layer buttons at any time to move
between the available velocity ranges. If there is more than one velocity range available, you can
adjust the dynamic range of each using Lo and Hi parameters. These Hi and Lo parameters are
the same as the Low Velocity (Lo) and High Velocity (Hi) parameters on the EditKeymap page
(see Low Velocity (Lo), High Velocity (Hi) on page 10‐4 for details.) Changes made with either set of
parameters are shown on both pages.
New Range (NewRng)
The NewRng button lets you define a new keyrange to edit, whether it's to assign a different
sample, or to adjust the pitch or volume. Just press NewRng, then play the note you want as the
low note, then the high note. The PC3 will prompt you for each note. When you trigger the high
note, you'll return to the Keymap‐editor page, and the new keyrange you defined will be
selected. The next change you make will affect only that edit range.
