Part edit

This function allows to transpose a part; dierently from the

GLOBAL TRANSPOSER, that will eects the entire instrument,

this function can be set independently for each SOUND sec-

tion or MIDI zone and stored in each PROGRAM, with dierent

values. Interesting combinations are obtained by transposing

a sound with musical intervals, like a lower quint = minus 5

semitones, to get what is commonly known as a “cluster” with

xed intervals. Try to select a TRUMPET on UPPER and a SAX on

LOWER, setting the SAX 5 semitones lower, in a typical JAZZ

setting.

You can set the octave (intervals of 12 semitones each) sepa-

rately for each part; normally you will need to move a LOWER

part one or two octave up, if you want to play chords in a bet-

ter range. On the other way, sometimes you can get a better

sound, when the SPLIT is activated, if you move the UPPER part

one or two octaves down, as you could prefer if you select a TE-

NOR sax in combination with a splitted BASS sound on the left,

since the Sax lower and nicer notes could probably be on the

left of the splitted keyboard portion. Simply experiment the

setting you prefer and then store it in the current PROGRAM.

This parameter allows to ne-tune the Upper and Lower soun-

ds within a semitone range; it could be useful to create “be-

ating” sligthly detuned sounds, when assigning a pure Wave-

form to both sections (i.e. Sawtooth, Square etc) or enhance

some Orchestral 2 sections mix, making it reacher.

The function allows to control the amount of signal to be sent

to the REVERB processor, independently for the LOWER and

UPPER parts and programmable with dierent settings for

each PROGRAM. As a typical setting, if you SPLIT the keyboard

and assign a BASS sound to the left, you might want to reduce

or minimize the amount of REVERB on the left part, or control

the setting also on the UPPER part to get the desired eect. The

MIX potentiometer, on the front panel, will change the overall

reverberation mix (Dry/Wet) with any reverb type selected or

send value.

Here you can decide if the pedals are enabled or not for each

section (UPPER/LOWER or ZONEA and ZONE B if the MIDI but-

ton is activated).
