SETTING THE RANGE AND MIDI SWITCHES

The Range function allows you to restrict each MIDI channel 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). In order to hear anything on a particular channel, turn the MIDI In parameter on (KBD/MIDI function) set the Range so that the low note and high note values are set beyond where you want to play. Look at the bottom section of the display. A circle will appear around any active MIDI channels as you play notes or send notes to the QSR from a sequencer on those channels.

Lower Limit (MIDI note 000 to 127/ C-2 to G8) Page 1

Specifies the lowest note of the sound’s keyboard range. While the Lower Limit parameter’s value is selected in the display (the cursor appears beneath it), you can set the lower limit by 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) Page 2

Specifies the highest note of the sound’s keyboard range. While the High Limit parameter’s value is selected in the display (the cursor appears beneath it), you can set the lower limit by tapping the key on the keyboard you want to set as the highest note in the range.

✪If the low limit is set above the high limit, you will be able to play this program layer at the lower and upper ends of the keyboard, but not in the middle between the two limit settings.
