Zone Octave And Transposition - M-Audio code25 User Manual

Zone Octave and Transposition

You can set each zone to a different octave or transposition. The keys of each zone can then
send different notes to a different virtual instrument or synthesizer (set to receive MIDI
messages on those channels).
The zone octave and transposition are independent from the keyboard's overall octave and
transposition; all of these affect the note a key sends out. For example, if a zone's octave shift
is set to +1, and the entire keyboard's octave shift is set to +1, the notes played by the zone's
keys will be 2 octaves higher than normal. Similarly, if a zone's octave shift is set to +1, and
the entire keyboard's transposition is set to -2 (semitones), the notes played by the zone's
keys will be 10 semitones higher than normal.
To set the zone octave and/or transposition for the keys:
1. Press and hold Zone for 1 second to enter Zone Edit Mode. The active Zone Buttons 1–4
will flash.
2. Press one of Zone Buttons 1–4 to edit that zone. Alternatively, you can press multiple
Zone Buttons 1–4 to edit those zones simultaneously. The display will show the zone's
current lowest and highest keys (e.g., C 1.C 5 or Bb2.Eb4).
3. To change the octave, use the Key Octave –/+ buttons to lower or raise the octave (-5 to
5). The display will show OCT and the number of octaves.
To change the transposition, press and hold Transpose, and then use the Key Octave –
/+ buttons to lower or raise the transposition. The display will show TRN and the number
of semitones (-12 to 12).
To change the octave and/or transposition for another zone, repeat Steps 2–3.
4. Press Zone to exit Zone Edit Mode.
