Program Name Display Format (PNameDisp)

This is another parameter designed to help you keep track of programs when you're sending
MIDI to other instruments or to a sequencer. It determines the program name you see when
you're viewing the Program Name and ID parameter for the current zone (the parameter you see
when you press the Program button). It doesn't affect the program ID that you see, nor does it
affect the MIDI information that the zone sends.
The idea behind this parameter is that you use it only for zones that are sending to MIDI (that is,
the zone has a value of either MIDI or Local+MIDI for the Dest parameter in the MIDI Xmit
menu). For any zone that sends to MIDI, PNameDisp lets you choose between viewing what gets
selected on the PC1 when you select the setup, or what gets selected on the receiving instrument
when you select the setup.
If the value is Internal, the display normally shows the name of the program that the PC1 uses in
that zone. This is the value for each zone in the default setup.
There's one exception when the value of PNameDisp is Internal: if the zone has a value of MIDI
for the Dest parameter (making it a MIDI-only zone), the display shows a name of
regardless of the current program ID. This makes sense, since the zone won't select any
program for the PC1, it'll select a program only for the receiving instrument. The PC1 can't
determine the name of that program, so it reminds you that it's programmed to select some
external program with the ID shown in the display.
Use a value of Gen. MIDI when the receiving instrument is a General-MIDI instrument. In this
case, the PC1 can determine the name of the program it's going to select on the receiving
instrument, it shows you both the ID and the name.
Use a value of Off when you want the PC1 to remind you that the zone will select a program on a
non-General-MIDI external instrument when you select the setup. In this case, the display shows

The Key Range Menu

Low and Hi

The primary function for the Key Range menu is determining where a zone plays on the
keyboard. This is controlled by the values of the Low and Hi parameters. In the default setup, all
zones range from C -1 to G 9. An 88-note keyboard ranges from A 0 to C 8 (and a 76-note
keyboard from E 1 to G 7), but you can transpose a zone so that it sends note numbers below or
above those ranges--it won't generate notes, but it'll still generate MIDI information, which can
be useful).
The PC1 ignores the values of these parameters when the AutoSplit parameter has a value of On
(the values appear in parentheses to indicate that these parameters are inactive. When AutoSplit
is set to On, the value of the AutoSplit Key parameter determines the split points for all the zones
in the setup (Zones 3 and 4 cover the region from the bottom of the keyboard up to--and
including--the split point, while Zones 1 and 2 cover the region from the top of the keyboard
down to the note above the split point).
Intuitive entry makes it easy to edit these parameters; just hold down the Enter button and strike
a key to set the value.
