Kurzweil K2500 - PERFORMANCE GUIDE REV F PART NUMBER 910251 CHAP 15 Sampling Manual page 37

You can also create multi-velocity keymaps—that is, keymaps that will play different timbres
depending on the attack velocities of your Note On events. The program Dyno E Piano, for
example, uses a keymap with two velocity ranges. Each key range in a multi-velocity keymap
contains two or three distinct sample roots that the K2500 chooses between, according to the
attack velocity of the note. When in the Keymap Editor, you can select the different velocity
ranges within a keymap using the CHAN/BANK buttons. To create your own multi-velocity
keymaps, start in Program mode by selecting a program that contains a multi-velocity keymap.
Most of these programs are identified by the word "Dual" in their names. Then select the
KEYMAP page, and press EDIT to enter the Keymap Editor. From there you can change the
sample root assigned to each velocity level in each key range. The description of the Velocity
Crossover parameter on page 15-40 has more information.
The Keymap Editor is nested within the Program Editor. The first step in using the Keymap
Editor is to select the keymap you want to edit. This is done on the KEYMAP page in the
Program Editor, using the Keymap parameter. Once you've done this, just press the EDIT
button, and you'll enter the Keymap Editor. If you want to edit a different keymap, return to
the KEYMAP page in the Program Editor and select the desired keymap. If you want to build a
keymap from scratch, start with the keymap 168 Silence (see "Building a Keymap"on page 15-
41). 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 you're 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 15-40.
