Sampling and Sample Editing
The Keymap Editor
This keymap template contains one key range from C 0 to G 10, and is a convenient starting
point for adding key ranges and assigning sample roots. The Keymap-editor page looks like
this:

Velocity Crossover
The top line of this page tells you which velocity range youÕre currently looking at. If the current
keymap is a multi-velocity keymap, the Chan/Bank buttons let you select between the velocity
ranges. The velocity range is set with the Velocity Crossover parameter(s), described on
page 14-39.

The Soft Buttons in the Keymap Editor

The Þrst four soft buttons execute the basic library functions, enabling you to name, save, or
delete the current keymap, or dump it via a MIDI SysEx message.
New Range (NewRng)
The NewRng button lets you deÞne a range to edit, whether itÕs to assign a different sample, or
to adjust the pitch or volume. Just press NewRng, then trigger the note you want as the low
note, then the high note. The K2600 will prompt you for each note. When you trigger the high
note, youÕll return to the Keymap-editor page, and the edit range you deÞned will be selected.
The next change you make will affect only that edit range.
ThereÕs more than one way to use this function. If you set an edit range thatÕs completely within
an existing key range, you can modify the edit range without affecting the rest of the key range
or the adjacent key ranges. If you set an edit range that overlaps part or all of another key range,
the sample assigned to the lower key range will be applied to the entire edit range. This is an
easy way to deÞne a new key range that replaces one or more existing key ranges.
