Page 30: Zones
Zones The keyboard can be divided into 1–4 “zones.” When zones are active (when the Zone button and one or more Zone 1–4 buttons are lit), each zone can send its controls’ MIDI messages over its own MIDI channel. Tip: This feature is great for dividing your Code keyboard between different virtual instruments or synthesizers. -
Page 31: Zone Channel
Zone Channel You can set each zone to a different MIDI channel. Each zone (controls and keys) can then control a different virtual instrument or synthesizer (set to receive MIDI messages on those channels). By default, all zone channels are set to Channel “00,” which is the global channel (see Channels >... -
Page 32: Zone Octave And Transposition
Zone Octave and Transposition You can set each zone to a different octave or transposition.
