Mix Mode
46 QuadraSynth Reference Manual
Octave (-2 to +2 octaves)
This sets the ProgramÕs pitch in (12 semitones) steps from -2 (transposed down 2
octaves) to +2 (transposed up two octaves).
Semitone (-12 to +12 semitones)
Sets the oscillator pitch in steps, from -12 (transposed down one octave) to +12
(transposed up one octave).
Setting the Range and MIDI
Each sound can be restricted to a specific range of the keyboard. This is ideal for
creating splits (e.g., bass in the lower octave and a half, piano in the middle three
octaves, and strings in the upper octave).
When you start to setup a MIX, it may be confusing if many of the channels have
their Keyboard parameter turned off. In order to hear anything on a particular
channel, enable Keyboard control and set the Range so that the low note and high
note values are set beyond where you want to play. Look at the MIDI MONITOR
section of the display. A thick line will appear above any active MIDI channels as
you play notes or send notes to the QuadraSynth from a sequencer on those
channels.
Range (Page 1)
Lower Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the lowest note of the soundÕs keyboard . You can set the lower limit by
holding Quad Switch [1] and tapping the key on the keyboard you want to set as the
lowest note in the range.
High Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8)
Specifies the highest note of the soundÕs keyboard range. You can set the high limit
by holding Quad Switch [2] and tapping the key on the keyboard you want to set as
the highest note in the range.
If the lower limit is set above the high limit, there will be no sound from this program layer.
