Note Map

This parameter determines how the PC1 responds to each note on the keyboard. If you're using

the PC1 as a solo instrument, you'll probably never need to edit the note map for the internal

setup. If you play a lot of setups, or control external instruments, different note maps can be

useful in a number of ways.

In the default setup, each zone has a value of Linear for Note Map. This gives you a normal

keyboard: playing C 4 triggers the note C 4, just as you would expect. Assuming the zone's Dest

parameter is at its default value of Local+MIDI, every note you play goes both to the PC1 and to

the MIDI Out port.

If the value of Note Map is Off, the PC1 generates no note information, but still generates all non-

note information like MIDI Controller messages.

The next group of values--1 of 2 through 4 of 4--generate note information only for specific notes.

We call these alternating note maps. They're handy when playing a setup that sends MIDI

information to multiple external instruments, because they enable you to play the external

instruments as if they were a single instrument, thereby increasing your available polyphony.

A value of Inverse reverses the keyboard: high notes at the bottom and low notes at the top. A

value of Constant causes all the keys to play the same note. By default this is C 4, but you can

change it with the Transpose parameter. Setting a zone's Note Map parameter to Constant is

useful when you want the sound from a particular note to play with every note of another zone--

for example, playing a ride cymbal with every note in a bass line.

Turns the AutoSplit feature on and off for all zones in the setup. In the default setup, this value is

Off. The AutoSplit feature is intended primarily for making quick layers and splits from Program

mode, but enabling AutoSplit for a setup is useful if you like to solo and mute zones while

performing. See The AutoSplit Feature on page 3-18 for more information.

When the value of the AutoSplit parameter is On, this parameter sets the split point for all zones

in the setup, overriding each zone's key range settings. Depending on the key ranges you've set

for the zones in any particular setup, this may not be useful. On the other hand, you may enjoy

the flexibility it provides for muting and soloing. See The AutoSplit Feature on page 3-18 for more

information.

When the value of AutoSplit is Off, the value of AutoSplit Key appears in parentheses, indicating

that it's inactive. In this case, the setup uses the values of the Low and Hi parameters to

determine the key ranges of each zone.
