Here’s a weird problem that I can’t find addressed in either the manual or the forum. (Of course, I may have missed it.) WHen I create a split using performance creator, I cannot then sucessfully modify the split to raise the top of the key range for the lower split. I’ve tried using voice ->sf4-5 keys in performance mode and I’ve tried explicitly setting the ranges in the limit (sf3) screen in voice edit mode. The sf3 screen says I’ve succesfully changed the split ranges, but I get no sound for the new higher range of the lower patch in the split. Example: Starting with a patch from voice mode, I then use the Performance Creator buttons to assign this voice to the upper split. I assign a new voice to the lower split range. I use the default split point of middle C. After doing this, I then raise the lower limit of the upper split to c# and try to raise the upper limit of the lower split patch to middle c using either of the methods described above. The upper voice correctly resets its lower limit to c#, but I get no sound on the middle c, where the lower part should now be playing. Has anyone else run into this? AM I nuts? Overlooking something obvious? |

If you have the “SPLIT SWITCH” parameter On there is a single Split Point.
Press [EDIT]
These are COMMON parameters. That sets a single Split point.
In your Performance there are individual Part parameters:
SplitLo/Up (Split Lower/Upper)
Press [SF3] LIMIT
Translation: if you have the SPLIT light lit, then you have a single split point. This is easy to understand when there are just two Parts involved. Quick split can be accomplished using Performance Creator by making one sound the upper and the other the lower, with a single split point. But a Performance can have four Parts… When you get to the Part Edit parameters, you can activate four PARTS layered across the entire range, however, with the BOTH, LOWER, UPPER parameters you can define how each behaves when the Split Switch is set ON. When setting up 4 Part Performances where sounds are set to different regions (more than a simple upper/lower), this is not a split - you would use the Note Limit parameters to set the regions for each. A Split is always defined as above and below a single split point… As in upper/lower. The individual Part’s Note Limit parameters define what keys will be available to sound… In a similar way to how the Key Ranges defined in a Waveform define what pitches are available when the Waveform is used in a Voice. If you “Note Limit” a Part assigned as “LOWER” to C1-C2, and set the Split Point to C3, you should not expect to hear notes C#2-B2 from that Part. And forget about using it for “UPPER”. |

Thanks for the below!

That’s exactly what I needed. Couldn’t figure out fo the life of me how to get to it. (And, sure enough, this is all explained on p 59 of the manaul.) |
