Improvements to MIXER Mode  
Take Over Mode  
When 'Take Over Mode' is active, when on the TrkMIX, PrgMIX, HD MIX,  
SYNTH, and EFFECTS EDIT pages, moving a Q-LINK will only update when the  
current value of the control is crossed.  
For example, if a HD MIX Channel is set to a volume of 70, and the  
corresponding Q-LINK is set to its minimum position, if 'Take Over Mode' is  
active, the channel's volume wouldn’t change until the Q-LINK moves past 70,  
allowing for a smooth volume adjustment. If 'Take Over Mode' is off, the  
control will change to follow the Q-LINK immediately.

the [WINDOW] button. The Chop Fine window will be displayed.  
In the Chop Fine window, the waveform display varies depending on the  
location of the cursor. When you select the 'St' (Start) field with the  
cursor, it displays the start point in the center of the window. When you  
select the 'End' field, it displays the end point in the center.  
If you press the [F2] (ZOOM-) button the waveform will be zoomed out,  
if you press the [F3] (ZOOM+) button, it will be zoomed in.  
LINEAR and LOGARITHMIC displays  
The vertical axis indicates the sample’s level. Normally, the waveform display is set to LINEAR, which displays the sample level as it is.  
However, some parts (fade out part etc…) may not be displayed in the waveform if the level is too low. In this case, you can switch to the  
LOG (logarithmic) display by pressing the [F5] (LOG) button and you can see the parts whose level is low. When you switch to the LOG  
mode, the display in the [F5] button will change to LINEAR. To switch back to the LINEAR mode, press the [F5] button again.  
Convert Patched Phrases to Sliced Samples  
Patched phrases can now be converted directly to Sliced Samples. To  
slice a patched phrase into its individual sections, do the following:  
01. Select the Patched Phrase you wish to slice and press the [F4]  
(CONVRT) button.

curve. A linear curve will go from start to end with  
no curve, creating a straight line.  
Logarithmic Fade In  
This selection fades in the audio with  
a
Logarithmic curve. A logarithmic curve will quickly  
rise, and then even out for the middle section,  
surging quickly again as it nears the end.  
Exponential Fade In

program is a keymapped, multisampled program, which allows several  
samples to be played chromatically across a standard keyboard.  
Keygroups use velocity switching, crossfading, and key ranges to yield a  
very realistic sound across the entire keybed. Up to 128 keygroups,  
each with up to 4 samples can be used, to a total of 512 samples.  
Creating a Keygroup Program  
To create a Keygroup program, do the following:  
01. In PROGRAM Mode, select the 'PGM' field.  
02. Press the [WINDOW] key.  
The NEW PROGRAM Window will be displayed.  
03. In the 'Program Type' field, select KEYGROUP  
You can also name the program using the 'New Name' field.  
04. Press [F5] (DO IT) to create a new Keygroup.  
The screen will be displayed as shown on the right. This page is similar to  
the SAMPLE page, with the following new parameters:  
Total Keygroups  
This field shows the total number of keygroups in the program.  
KgLvl  
This field sets the overall volume of the Keygroup. Like SAMPLE  
programs, Individual sample levels can also be controlled in the LVL  
field.  
KgTune  
This field sets the overall tuning for the selected Keygroup.  
KgPan  
This field sets the overall panning for the selected Keygroup.  
KRange  
This field is a two-part field that sets the high and low key ranges in which the selected Keygroup will play.  
Tip: While in these fields, you can select the key range by pressing a note on a MIDI Keyboard.

05. To select different keygroups, select the number field to the left of  
the sample list as indicated on the right and scroll with the [DATA]  
wheel.  
you can also select MULTI, to allow for editing all keygroups at once.  
Tip: you can also select keygroups two convenient ways. Select a Keygroup directly by pressing and holding the [SHIFT]  
button and striking a pad. Keygroups will be selected by number. In other words, striking pad 16 will select keygroup  
#16. Striking a pad a second time will select keygroups beyond 64 (IE striking pad #1 2x will select keygroup #65).  
To select a keygroup you are currently playing, press and hold [LOCATE] while pressing a pad or pressing a MIDI note on an  
external keyboard. Additional presses of the same key will cycle through all of the keygroups that the particular note  
belongs to.  
Sample Layer Crossfade  
Samples can be crossfaded to add realism to a velocity switch. This can  
yield smoother transitions between samples in a particular Keygroup.  
Turn on Crossfading for a Keygroup, do the following:  
01. Select one of the Sample Slots.  
02. Press the [WINDOW] button  
the PLAY MODE window will be displayed.  
03. Select the 'Crossfade' field and set this field to 'ON'  
Tip: Crossfading between two samples will use two voices, so if this feature is not required, turning off Crossfading will yield  
better performance.

Any note can be set here, or select 'AS SAMPLE' to use the samples default pitch. You can also set the root note by hitting a key on a MIDI  
keyboard.  
Keytracking  
Samples can be individually set to ignore their keygrouping, and play in the pitch of their Root across the entire keygroup  
range. This is helpful for percussive sounds, or for particular effects.  
To turn off keytracking for individual samples, do the following:  
01. Select the TUNE Field on the PROGRAM Page.  
02. Press the [WINDOW] key.  
The PITCH FUNCTION Window will be displayed.  
03. In the KeyTrk Column, remove the check mark for each sample you wish to turn Keytracking off.  
Keygroup Tune and Transpose  
Entire Keygroup type programs can be transposed and Tuned as a  
whole. Tuning and Transpose can have different affect on the sound,  
depending on the source material.  
When pressing a key and  
adjusting the tuning, the sample assigned to that key will be pitched  
down. When pressing a key and adjusting the transpose, the note  
being played will change. To change the keygroup or tune, do the  
following:  
in PROGRAM Mode, press the [F3] (PGM) button
