COMBI 3.3: Ed–Key Zone

These settings specify the keyboard range in which each timbre will sound.

The top/bottom key parameters specify the range of notes in which timbres 1–8will sound, and the top/bottom slope parameters specify the range over which the original vol- ume will be reached.

By setting timbres of different sounds to ranges that do not overlap, you can play different sounds in different ranges of the keyboard (Key Split).

By setting the ranges to overlap, you can play two or more sounds with a single note (Layer).

If you set the slopes (the grayed portion) to overlap, the sounds will overlap, and the proportion of the overlap will change according to the keyboard location (Positional Cross-fade).
