4. Repeat the procedure with as many zones as you wish, to create a
complete key map.
By using the Lo Key and Hi Key controls
Directly below the key map area is a row of knobs. These are the sample param-
eters. As the name implies, they are used for changing various parameters that
affect how the zones are played back. In the middle of the sample parameters
area are two knobs called “Lo Key” and Hi Key”.
These can be used for setting the low key and the high key of a zone’s key
range, just like dragging the boundary handles as described above:
1. Make sure the zone for which you want to set the key range has edit
focus.
2. Use the knobs to change the corresponding key - low or high.
Check the display right above the knobs for an indication of the key. You can
also keep an eye on the lines extending from the zone edges to the keyboard
area.
By Dragging the Zone Boundary Handles on the Tab Bar
As previously described, the area directly below the keyboard area is called the
tab bar. This shows the key range for the currently selected zone, and also con-
tains boundary handles.
Dragging a boundary handle on the tab bar.
These handles can be used much to the same effect as when dragging the
boundary handles in the key map display. However, the handles on the tab bar
can change the key range of multiple zones at the same time.
The following applies:
• The tab bar shows the key range for the zone with edit focus.
• Dragging the boundary handles for that zone will also simultaneously change
the key range for a number of surrounding zones if:
D The high key or low key (depending on which handle you drag) of
the other zones are the same as the zone with edit focus.
D The other zones are adjacent to the zone with edit focus.
! Note that it doesn’t matter whether the other zones are selected or
not. They will be affected anyway.
In the example in the picture above, the zone within the middle has edit focus. Its
left handle (the low key) is placed differently from any of the other zones, but all
of the zones have the same high key setting. This means that...
• Dragging the left handle will only move the low key position of the zone with
edit focus (the pictures show before and after dragging).
• Dragging the right handle will move the high key position for all of the zones
at the same time, since they all have the same high key position (again, the
picture shows before and after dragging).
