Reference
From the Zone Setting display you can set Zone-related parameters.
You can divide the keyboard into a maximum of eight independent areas (called “Zones”). To each Zone
can be assigned different MIDI channels. This makes it possible to control several Parts of the multi-timbral
tone generator simultaneously by a single keyboard or to control Parts of an external MIDI instrument over
several different channels in addition to the internal Parts of this synthesizer itself—letting you use the
MONTAGE to effectively do the work of several keyboards.
To activate this display, select [UTILITY]
[Settings]
[Advanced], then set “Zone Master” to “ON.”
For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Zone (Zone Switch)
Determines whether the Zone function is used (on) or not (off). When this is set to off, all of the following
parameters are not available.
Settings:
Off, On
Int SW (Internal Switch)
Determines whether MIDI messages generated by playing the keyboard in the range of the selected Zone
are transmitted to the internal tone generator or not.
Settings:
Off, On
Transmit Ch (Transmit Channel)
Determines the MIDI Transmit Channel for the selected Zone.
Settings:
Ch1 – Ch16, Off
Note Limit
Determines the lowest and highest notes of the range for the selected Zone. The selected Zone will sound
only when you play notes within this range. If you first specify the highest note and then the lowest note, for
example “C5 to C4,” then the note range covers both “C-2 to C4” and “C5 to G8.”
Settings:
C -2 – G8
Octave Shift
Determines the amount in octaves by which the range of the Zone is shifted up or down. You can adjust the
offset up or down over a maximum range of three octaves.
Settings:
-3 – +0 (Default) – +3
Transpose
Determines the amount in semitones by which the range of the Zone is shifted up or down.
Settings:
-11 – +0 (Default) – +11
