Chapter 3 Editing Patches
Creating a Keyboard Split
When you add a software instrument channel strip to a patch, it extends over the
entire MIDI keyboard range (C–2 to G8). Two or more channel strips in the same range
produce a layered sound. You can easily create keyboard splits in your patches so
dierent channel strips cover dierent parts of the keyboard. You create keyboard splits
by dening a key range for each channel strip.
Key ranges can have oating split points, in which case the high and low notes of the
key range change depending on the keys you play as you approach them.
Try This
Open the Layer Editor:
Select a layered patch, or add a channel strip to an existing patch.1
In the Channel Strips area, select the rst (leftmost) channel strip.2
The Channel Strip Inspector appears below the workspace.
