The Transpose Menu - Kurzweil PC2R Musician's Manual

Note Map
This parameter determines how the current zone responds to each note. If you're using the
PC2R 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 PC2R and
to the MIDI Out port.
If the value of Note Map is Off, the zone 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 note range: high notes at the bottom and low notes at the top. A
value of Constant causes all Note On messages 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.
AutoSplit
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 an
Internal-Voices program, but enabling AutoSplit for a setup is useful if you like to solo and mute
zones while performing. See The AutoSplit Feature on page 3-23 for more information.
AutoSplit Key
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 3-23 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.

The Transpose Menu

Transposition
Sets the amount of transposition for the current zone. In the default setup, there's no
transposition on any of the zones.
