GEN M.Kbd (General Master Keyboard)
You can set keyboard splits and layers when using a
Performance in Master Keyboard Mode.
■Mode
Set the keyboard Mode. The following three Modes
are available. If the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key
LED on the front panel is off, these Modes are not
available and brackets are shown in the display.
❏Settings: split, 4zone, layer
split:
Splits the keyboard into a left-hand (lower) section and a
right-hand (upper) section, assigning a different MIDI
channel and Part to each section.
4zone:
Splits the keyboard into a maximum of four zones,
assigning a different MIDI channel and Part to each zone.
Parameters can be set separately for each zone (Page 121)
when you press the [ENTER] key.
layer:
Layers up to two Zone (Part) over the keyboard. This is
useful for creating rich and thick sounds.
■Lower
When the Mode (see above) has been set to “split,”
this sets the MIDI channel assigned to notes at and
below the split point. The Part or Voice set to this
MIDI channel will be played when you press notes
at and below the split point. When the Mode is set
to “layer,” the MIDI channel for one layered Zone
(Part) is set here.
❏Settings: ch01 ~ ch16
You can also quickly set the Upper/Lower MIDI channels
using the PART keys [1] to [16]. Press and hold one
PART key, then press another. The number of the first
key is set as the Upper MIDI channel while the number
of the second key is set as the Lower MIDI channel.
■Upper
When the Mode (see above) has been set to “split,” this
sets the MIDI channel assigned to notes above the split
point. The Part or Voice set to this MIDI channel will
be played when you press notes above the split point.
When the Mode is set to “layer,” the MIDI channel for
the other layered Zone (Part) is set here.
❏Settings: ch01 ~ ch16
You can also quickly set the Upper/Lower MIDI channels
using the PART keys [1] to [16]. Press and hold one
PART key, then press another. The number of the first
key is set as the Upper MIDI channel while the number
of the second key is set as the Lower MIDI channel.
