that best represents the sample's inherent pitch.
[Range] C-2 — G8
• If the Note Display Type utility (UTILITY-SYSTEM-
Custom) (page 198) is set to "name" the parameter
will be displayed as note names such as "C3." If set
to "number" the parameter will be displayed as MIDI
note numbers such as "60."
• If a sample bank is being edited "(---)" will appear on
the display and this parameter cannot be changed.

set by a MIDI note-on message received from an external
MIDI device.

[ Turn] Low Key
Turn the knob to set the low end for the sample's key
range.
[Range] =Orig, C-2 — High Key
• =Orig (Original) ... the Low Key will always be the
same value as the original key of the sample.
• C-2 — High Key ... Sets the Low Key to any note
up to the High Key.
• If a sample bank is being edited "(---)" will appear on
the display and this parameter cannot be changed.

• If a sample bank is being edited "(---)" will appear on
the display and this parameter cannot be changed.
• on ... Keys adjacent to the key range also play the
sample, with the sample's output level
decreasing gradually with increasing distance
from the range border. The drawing below
illustrates the concept.
• off ... The sample plays out over the selected key
range only. Keys that are adjacent to but out-
side of the key range do not produce any
sound from this sample.

• The use of key crossfade allows you to blend adja-
cent samples into one another, so as to avoid dra-
matic voice changes at the range borders. This is
particularly useful when working with samples that
map the same type of sound to different ranges on
the keyboard (multisampling).
