The Keymap Editor
to define the new key range by playing the notes you want to be the lowest and highest notes
of the range. (Press the Cancel soft button if you change your mind.) When you trigger the
low and high notes, the new key range is inserted. If the new key range partially overlaps an
adjacent key range, the existing key range will be adjusted to accommodate the new range.
If the new key range completely overlaps an existing key range, the original key range will be
replaced.

Suppose you have a sample whose root key is C 4, and you want to assign it to A 0, because
you don't expect to play it often. If you want it to play back without transposition, you'll
have to adjust the Coarse Tune parameter. Calculating the right value for Coarse Tune can
get tedious if you're assigning a large number of samples. Fortunately, there's a short cut.
1. Assign a sample root to a key range, either using the Lo, Hi, and Sample parameters or
using the ASSIGN soft button.
2. Highlight the value of the Coarse Tune parameter.
3. Press the Previous-/Next+ buttons at the same time. The value of Coarse Tune changes
automatically. If the sample is assigned to one note, the Forte sets Coarse Tune so that the
note plays the sample without transposition. If the sample is assigned to a range of notes,
the Forte sets Coarse Tune so that the middle note of the range plays the sample without
transposition.
