Split Point and Transpose
When controlling MIDI Voices via MIDI note events, it is sometimes desirable to have one section of the
keyboard designated to sending that control information. It could be the area that your left hand is, to play
chords of harmonies.
In order to designate an area of the keyboard to respond to, a Split Point is set. Any notes, either above or below
the split point, are deemed useable by the system. Notes outside the range are rejected.
To set the Split Point, hold the SET button and press the note on your keyboard that you want to act as the split
note. Then, to choose a split ABOVE that note, release the split note and press a note ONE SEMITONE ABOVE
your split note. To choose a split BELOW, release the split note and press a note ONE SEMITONE BELOW your
split note.
This creates a split, above or below, with no transposition. In order to set a split point AND transpose the
incoming MIDI notes, you will choose a different note in place of the ABOVE/BELOW notes mentioned above.
It will seem a bit confusing, but does allow you to make both a split above/below point AND transpose either up
or down. So, here’s a chart and some explanation.
Second Note Split Transpose X To
X+6 Above X5
... Above ...
X+2 Above X1
X+1 Above X (no transpose)
X+0 --- --
X-1
Below X (no transpose)
X-2
Below X6
... Below ...
X-6 Below X2
In the chart above, “X” is the split note, the point at which you want to split the keyboard, as explained
previously.
To facilitate things like “split above, but transpose down” we need to have settings both above and below your
split point. That’s where the chart comes in.
For example, if you want to split ABOVE middle C, typically known as C4, but transpose DOWN so that C4 is
actually C2, you’d do the following:
1. Hold SET
2. Press middle C (C4)
3. Press the note 6 SEMITONES DOWN from middle C (F#)
If you want to split BELOW middle C (C4) and transpose up so that C4 is C6, you’d:
1. Hold SET
2. Press middle C (C4)
3. Press the note 2 SEMITONES DOWN from middle C (A#)
You may need to experiment a bit to figure this out, but it does give you the ability to set your split point, split
direction and transposition very quickly.
