Part edit
This function allows to transpose a part; differently from the
GLOBAL TRANSPOSER, that will effects the entire instrument,
this function can be set independently for each SOUND sec-
tion or MIDI zone and stored in each PROGRAM, with different
values. Interesting combinations are obtained by transposing
a sound with musical intervals, like a lower quint = minus 5
semitones, to get what is commonly known as a “cluster” with
fixed intervals. Try to select a TRUMPET on UPPER and a SAX on
LOWER, setting the SAX 5 semitones lower, in a typical JAZZ
setting.
You can set the octave (intervals of 12 semitones each) sepa-
rately for each part; normally you will need to move a LOWER
part one or two octave up, if you want to play chords in a bet-
ter range. On the other way, sometimes you can get a better
sound, when the SPLIT is activated, if you move the UPPER part
one or two octaves down, as you could prefer if you select a TE-
NOR sax in combination with a splitted BASS sound on the left,
since the Sax lower and nicer notes could probably be on the
left of the splitted keyboard portion. Simply experiment the
setting you prefer and then store it in the current PROGRAM.
The function allows to control the amount of signal to be sent
to the REVERB processor, independently for the LOWER and
UPPER parts and programmable with different settings for
each PROGRAM. As a typical setting, if you SPLIT the keyboard
and assign a BASS sound to the left, you might want to reduce
or minimize the amount of REVERB on the left part, or control
the setting also on the UPPER part to get the desired effect. The
MIX potentiometer, on the front panel, will change the overall
reverberation mix (Dry/Wet) with any reverb type selected or
send value.
Here you can decide if the pedals are enabled or not for each
section (UPPER/LOWER or ZONEA and ZONE B if the MIDI but-
ton is activated).
As for the pedals, also the Sticks can be enabled separately for
the Parts and Zones; please note that the Stick 2 will be set
automatically to AUTO if the related FX-AUTOSET function is
set to ON in the GLOBAL EDIT area. To control the Stick 2 as-
signment manually, you can set to OFF the FX-AUTOSET and
the function can be switched ON or OFF and stored in the Pro-
grams.
