Setup Mode
The Split Function
7-5
If the Octave button is active, pressing the Transpose + or Transpose – buttons will
transpose the current Setup by octaves (+/– 12 semitones). The Octave button’s LED is lit
when the button is active and remains lit until you press the button again to disable it.
The maximum transposition value is +/–36. If the Octave button is active and the current
transposition value is greater than +24, pressing the Transpose + button will not increase
the value as it would be out of range. If the Octave button is active and the current
transposition value is less than –24, pressing the Transpose – button will not decrease the
value as it would be out of range.
The LEDs of the Transpose buttons indicate whether the current Setup is transposed up
(Transpose + LED is lit) or transposed down (Transpose – LED is lit). When there is no
transposition, then neither Transpose button is lit.
The Split Function
Pressing the Split button while in Setup Mode performs the Split Function. The Split
Function allows you to split Setups such that keys in one region of the keyboard produce
different sounds than another region.
When you create a Split in a Setup, you are in fact activating a Zone within the current Setup.
If the current Setup already has its maximum of four active Zones and you press the Split
Function button, then a message will appear on the display indicating that you have reached
the maximum of four active Zones. The Split Function is convenient, as you do not need to
go through Edit Setup Mode to delineate Zones, assign Programs, etc. You can simply hit
the Split Function button, and the SP5 automatically activates another Zone in the Setup for
you, with default values for parameters of the Split.
The newly-activated Zone is the “Secondary Voice”. The currently active Zone(s) constitute
the “Primary Voice”.
