THE COMBINATOR1322
Setting the Key Range
Each instrument device can have its own separate key range, the lowest and the highest key that will trigger the de-
vice. This allows you to create splits and layers for instrument devices in a Combi.
1. Make sure the “Key” checkbox is ticked for the instrument devices you want to edit the Key Range.
The Key Range is shown as a horizontal bar, and as note numbers on either sides of the bar. By default, the entire
note range is selected (C -2 to G 8).
There are several ways you can change the Key Range:
D By clicking in the Key Range value fields and moving the mouse up or down.
D By moving the handles of the horizontal bar.
D By dragging the horizontal bar itself you can also move entire key zones horizontally, thereby changing their
key ranges.
2. Using either method, set the desired key range for the desired device(s).
When done, the device(s) will only play back notes in the set key range.
D By setting up key ranges for devices in a Combi, you can create split instruments.
For example playing notes below C 2 could trigger a device playing a bass sound, whereas playing notes above C
2 could trigger a device playing a pad sound.
D Instrument devices in a Combi that share the same key range will be layered - i.e. play at the same time.
This given that no velocity ranges have been set up - see below.
D You can of course set up overlapping ranges where notes within a set key range will layer two (or more) de-
vices, but notes above and below the set range will play separate devices.
About the Transpose function
The Transpose field to the far right on the panel allows you to transpose the instrument devices. It will not shift the
key mapping, just the pitch of the device.
D Click and drag up/down in the Transpose field to edit the transposition.
The range is +/- 3 octaves, in semitone steps (+/-36 semitones).
