EDIT PROGRAM - SINGLE
Page 70 CD3000XL OperatorÕs Manual
This allows you to set the overall keyboard range C0-G8 of the
program and this will override any keygroup range settings made in the
keygroup SPAN page. For example, even though your program’s
keygroups may extend up to G8, if you set, say, C4 as the high
extreme in this field, no sound will be heard above C4. You may use
this function to create keyboard splits with other programs of the same
program number.
This allows you to transpose the program +/-50 semi-tones in semi-
tone increments. You will note that this is not a pitch shift function as
such but a MIDI transpose function - this overcomes the problem of
playing back samples out of their range. What this function does is
introduce an offset so that, with a +12 setting, even if you play C3 on
the keyboard, this is offset to play the samples on C4 - it is not playing
the samples on C3 an octave higher.
NOTE: Most of the parameters in this page are retained for compatibility with data created on
earlier Akai samplers. When editing a program in MULTI mode, the MIDI channel, priority, play
range and transpose functions are not shown here as these parameters are irrelevant, being
overridden by the MULTI’s parameters.
However, if you are using the ‘old Akai’ method for multi-timbral sequencing, you will want to set
the parameters shown above (although they may be more easily set in the SINGLE mode on
the MIDI page).
