Although you may have changed your voices, your key range is still identical to the map above.
In our example, we’re going to change some key ranges of the original voices used in “Rock Kit.”
1. Remember, whenever you want to do any editing to a sound, you must first place the KT into
Edit Sound mode. This is done by pressing the
{EDIT_SOUND}
button. The display looks
something like this:
Current Key Number Low Key High Key
m m m
Key=A0 A0 :G2# PUNCHY KICK
i
Wave Name
In our example, we will change the key range of PUNCHY KICK and ROCK SNARE.
2. Select PUNCHY KICK (by pressing any key within A0 to G2#) and make sure it’s on the
display.
3. Press the
{>}
button twice to select the High Key range as shown above.
4. Press the F2# key. You’ve just changed the range of the PUNCHY KICK. If you play the G2
and G2# keys, you will hear waves from the “hidden” ROM General MIDI Drum Map sound
that lies beneath the key ranges (DRY TOM and PEDAL HAT -KG1 respectively). This is one
way to get additional voices in your custom drum map. All of the “hidden” ROM General
MIDI Drum Map waves can be found earlier in this section.
5. Select ROCK SNARE (by pressing any key within A2 to D3#) and make sure it’s on the
display.
6. Press the
{>}
button once to select the Low Key range.
7. Press the G2 key. The display automatically selects the High Key range (flashing). Press the
D3# key (we don’t want to change the high key, just the low key). You’ve just changed the
range of the ROCK SNARE. In doing so, you’ve also covered the “hidden” ROM General
MIDI Drum sounds that were exposed by separating the key ranges that covered them.
Remember the “hidden” ROM General MIDI Drum sounds are always there… just lurking
beneath your definable key ranges.
Using this technique, you can create, change, and edit any drum sound key range within the KT.
