Creating Setups
If you’ve read Layering and Splitting on page 3-18, you know how to create layered setups using
the AutoSplit feature. Doing it this way, however, adds a lot of other features to the resulting
setup, and you may not want that. Sometimes it’s better to start from scratch.
1. Start by selecting Setup 128. (Don’t press Edit yet.)
2. Press each of the Zone 1 through Zone 4 buttons once (notice the zone numbers labeled in
blue above the buttons). As you press each button, notice how the bottom line of the
display shows you the corresponding zone number.
You’ll also notice that every zone already has a program assigned to it. That’s fine, because
you can always mute zones (or turn then off) if you don’t want to hear them. In fact, all
the zones are muted now (their zone buttons are amber). You muted Zone 1 when you
pressed its button, because it was the current zone. Let’s shut two of the zones off, to make
the setup as simple as possible.
3. Press Edit, which displays the MIDI Xmit menu.
4. Press Enter, which displays the first parameter (MIDI Channel) in the MIDI Xmit menu.
5. Press the Zone 3 button. The display looks like this:
Zone:3-||||||||0:105
MIDI|Channel:|03
The top line indicates the current zone, as well as the current bank and program ID.
Notice the minus sign after the zone number, indicating that the zone is muted.
6. Turn the Alpha Wheel to the left until you see Off in the bottom line of the display. Notice
that the Zone 3 button is now unlit, indicating that the zone is off.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for Zone 4. You now have a two-zone setup (the setup still has four
zones, but two of them are completely inactive).
8. Press the Zone 1 button to make Zone 1 the current zone. Press it again to unmute the
zone, if necessary. The Zone 1 LED should be green.
9. Press Menu to return to the list of menus.
10. Press the Right cursor button to view the Program menu, and press Enter to view the
Program ID and name parameter. This is one of the rare cases in which you don’t see the
name of the parameter, just its value.
You should see 000 Stereo Grand on the bottom line of the display. If you don’t, select it
now.
11. Press the Zone 2 button to make Zone 2 the current zone. Press it again to unmute it, if
necessary. The Zone 2 LED should be green.
12. Select the program 064 Lyrical Strings.
