Keyboard Range
Setting the Keyboard Range automatically transposes any sequence note
that would otherwise play too high or too low in pitch, compared to the origi-
nal acoustic instrument’s natural range, when transposed by the arranger.
This will result in more natural sounding instruments.
For example, the standard lower limit for a concert flute is C4. If you play
a chord under the C4, the transposed pattern could exceed this limit, and
sound unnatural. A Bottom limit set to C4 for the flute track will solve the
problem.
Different Keyboard Range values can be set for each Style Element. This will
help forcing a preferred range in a particular section of the song, to simulate
a particular piano comping style, or to avoid overlapping of instruments over
different tracks.
