Midi Channel; Zones - Novation Impulse User Manual

English

MIDI Channel

Zones

Normally Impulse's keyboard uses the same MIDI channel for all its notes. Using Zones, it can
be split into 2, 3 or even 4 separate or overlapping regions. Each Zone can have its own MIDI
channel, port, and keyboard range. This feature can be of tremendous benefit when playing
live.
Press the Zones button to enable and configure keyboard zones; the LED in the button lights to
confirm the mode.
MIDI data can be sent on any one of 16 channels, and will
only be received and interpreted correctly if the receiving
device is set to the same channel. Press the MIDI Chan
button to set the channel number.
Use the Data knob to change the MIDI channel number from
the default of 1. Note that MIDI channel numbers are part of
the template, and therefore any changes must be saved to
the template as described above (see "Loading and Saving
a Template" on page 18).
Page 1: Zones Enable (KbdZones)
Use the data entry knob to select On or Off (default). When
Zones are set On, a ZONES ON element lights in the
display to remind you that Zones are enabled.
Page 2: Zone 1 Start (Z1 Start)
There are two methods of selecting the lowest note in the
Zone: i) press the note on the keyboard, and its note name
will be displayed; ii) use the data knob to scroll through the
list of available notes.
