Using switches
The Switch Setup section at the bottom of the panel allows you to set
up variations to the defined chords. This works with all three modes
and provides a total of eight variations for each assignable key (that is,
a maximum of 8 different chords in Global mode, 12x8 chords in Oc-
tave mode and 128x8 chords in Normal mode).
The variations can be controlled by velocity or note range. Here’s how
you set it up:
1. Select one of the two switch modes: velocity or note.
How to use these is explained below.
The velocity switch mode selected.
2. Specify how many variations you want to use with the Use value box.
3. Click the first Switch Select button and set up the chord(s) you want
for the first variation.
4. Click the next Switch Select button and set up the chord(s) you want
for that variation.
5. Repeat this for the number of variations you specified with the Use
setting.
Each Switch Select button corresponds to a variation.
6. Now you can play the keyboard and control the variations according
to the selected switch modes.
These work as follows:
Switch mode Description
Velocity The full velocity range (1-127) is divided into “zones”, according to the
number of variations you specified. For example, if you’re using two vari-
ations (Max is set to 2) there will be two velocity “zones”: 1-63 and 64-
127. Playing a note with velocity at 64 or higher will trigger the second
variation, while playing a softer note will trigger the first variation.
