Keyboard/Ensemble > Key/Velocity Range
This page lets you program a key and dynamic (velocity) range
for each of the Keyboard tracks.
Key range is useful to create a set of Keyboard tracks playing in
different zones of the keyboard. For example, you may have
French Horns and Woodwinds playing in the center range of the
keyboard, while only Woodwinds play on the higher range.
Velocity range is useful to create a sound made of up to three
dynamic layers, assigning each of the Upper tracks to a different
dynamic range.
As an example, you may assign the El.Piano 1 Sound to the
Upper 1, and the El.Piano 2 Sound to the Upper 2 track. Then,
set Upper 1 to [Bottom=0, Top=80], and Upper 2 to [Bot-
tom=81, Top=127]. The El.Piano 1 will play when playing softer,
the El.Piano 2 when playing louder.

This page lets you program the Ensemble function. This func-
tion harmonizes the right-hand melody (played in realtime)
using the recognized chords played by the left hand.
The Ensemble works both in the Style Play and the Song Play
modes. Chords are always recognized in the Lower Chord Scan
area.
Note: The Ensemble function only works when the keyboard is in
Split mode.

Duet Adds a single note to the melody.

Open 1 Adds an open-position chord to the melody.
Open 2 As the above, but with a different algorithm.

in hard rock.
Third Up This option adds a third over the melody note
(depending on the recognized chord).
Fourths LO Typical of jazz, this option adds two perfect
fourths under the melody.
Fourths UP As the above, but with notes added over the mel-
ody.
Fifths This adds two fifths below the original note.
Octave Adds an octave below to the melody.
Dual This option adds to the melody line a second

sition value appears (-24...+24 semitones to the
original note).
