Zones
The biggest difference between the Internal Voices Setup and a MIDI Setup is that the
latter has 2
zones
whereas the former has only 1. This name comes about from its usual
association with a split keyboard. In the Stage Piano, however, the zones can overlap
partially or even completely thus making the term
layer
more accurate. Nevertheless,
weÕll use Òzone.Ó Figure 4-1 should help you better understand the concept of zones.
Figure 4-1
Zones
LetÕs say that one zone is a lead sound, like
Grand Piano 1
, playing through the
internal sound module; the other is assigned to play a bass sound through an external
module. You may want different controller assignments for each zone. For example,
you may want to control the pianoÕs volume with the slider, and the bassÕs volume
with the control pedal. Figure 4-1 shows how these basic characteristics can be
programmed using different parameter values for each zone.
First you arbitrarily choose the right zone to be the piano and the left zone to be the
bass. WeÕll call these Zone R and Zone L. The Key Range Hi and Key Range Lo
parameter settings determine where on the keyboard each zone lies. L and R actually
refer to the zone indicator LEDs; either zone can cover any note range.
The Destination parameter makes Zone R send to just the internal sound module and
Zone L send only to MIDI. This prevents Zone L notes from reaching the piano voice,
and Zone R notes from being sent to MIDI. The MIDI Channel and MIDI Program
settings for Zone L must match the external moduleÕs channel setting and program
number for the desired bass sound.
Grand Piano 1
is the sound selection. Note that the sound selection always applies to
both zones, but since the Destination parameter in Zone L speciÞes MIDI only, Zone L
notes wonÕt reach the internal sound module. Independent volume control by slider
(Zone R) and Control Pedal (Zone L) is achieved by cross assignment to Destination 7
as shown.
The example above lists only a few of the many parameters available that can be
assigned different functions in the two zones. Using the ideas outlined above, itÕs
possible to specify quite elaborate custom setups. Read on for more about parameters
and zones.
