14. Keysplits

Each engine in Atheos can be set up to only react to a user-defined keyrange:

To adjust a keyrange, click and drag the desired slider to the right or left.

This way you can define key-splits easily. This is useful to e.g. have a pad sound 
on the lower range of the keyboard and e.g. a texture on the upper range.

The snapshots labelled with „split“ at the beginning demonstrate some 
possibilites of using keysplits.

Whenever you adjust a keyrange, the virtual Kontakt keyboard will show the 
defined range(s) as well for a better visualization:
