SPAN

The
button allows you to set the keyspan of any keygroups in the program. On the
SPAN
left of this page are up to four diagrams of a keyboard with a keyspan underneath the
keyboard (represented by a horizontal bar), and to the right of this are displayed the
corresponding keygroups with their HIGH and LOW ranges. These may be displayed
either as MIDI note numbers or as note names. Press
note names and numbers. You can then select the keygroup number you want (place the
cursor on a field in the KG column, and use the DATA knob to select the keygroup)
before altering the HIGH and LOW limits of the keygroup. Note that if you are editing
using the note names, placing the cursor over the whole note name will alter the value by
an octave for each click of the DATA knob. Alternatively, place the cursor on the
field of the first keyspan and play the appropriate key on the MIDI keyboard. The cursor
will move to the next note value field (the high value of the same keyspan,
value of the next), ready for you to play the next note.
In this page, you can also alter the tuning (TUNE) of the samples played in this keyspan
in semitones and cents (useful if you have a split keyboard setup, and you want each half
of the split to sound at the correct pitch).
The other parameter in this page is BEAT, which is used to create a fixed offset to the
original pitch. Unlike the TUNE parameter, this tuning offset is constant, no matter what
the played pitch of the sample. You may like to use this to create a "chorus" effect, by
adding a small amount of fixed offset to one of two otherwise identical samples.
