My thing is,.. is there a way for me to assign both of those samples in the same keygroup program and play them on different pads? The way its playing now is when I push a pad they play together, so to avoid that I have to create a totally new keygroup program just for one sample, Is there a way around this?......
Ok Krush A MIDI note number is assigned to each pad on the top panel, and when you strike a pad, the corresponding
note-on message is sent to the sequencer section or the [MIDI OUT] connectors.
The sequencer section records the MIDI events that it receives from the pads or the [MIDI IN] connectors.
Here you can adjust the tuning of a key group or note number, or specify the range of
notes for a key group.
A Kg/Note field
Shows the key groups or note numbers of the selected program.
B Sample field
Shows the samples that are assigned to each key group or note number.
C Span Low/Hi fields
Select the key range of the key group. The Low field specifies the lowest note number,
and the Hi field specifies the highest note number. These fields will be displayed only if
a key group program is selected.
D Tune field
Adjusts the tuning of each key group or note number. You can adjust this in a range of
–36.00–+36.00 semitones, in steps of semitones or cents. If you press the [WINDOW]
key in this field, the Program Modulation popup window will appear.
E Pitch field
Selects one of the following to specify how the pitch of the sample will be affected by the
note number.
TRACK..................The pitch will change according to the note number.
CONST ..................The same pitch will sound for any note number in the note range.
F Poly field
Specifies the maximum polyphony of the key group or note number, in a range of 1–64.
G Mute group field
Selects either OFF or 1–64 as the mute group to which this key group or note number will
be assigned. Key groups or note numbers assigned to the same mute group will not sound
simultaneously.
Specifying the key range of a key group (Key group programs)
Here’s how to specify the key range (span) of the key group by adjusting the Span/High
parameters.
1. Select the key group program that you want to edit, and access the Pitch page.
2. Move the cursor to the Span Low field of the key group whose range you want
to adjust, and turn the [JOG] dial to select the note number for the lowest note
of the range.
3. Move the cursor to the SPAN High parameter, and turn the [JOG] dial to select
the note number for the highest note of the range.
4. If you want to make option settings for the key group, move the cursor to the
Span Low or High field and press the [WINDOW] key.

The Key Span Option popup window will appear.
A Keygroup X-fade field
Specify whether crossfading will occur if adjacent key groups have overlapping ranges.
B X-fade curve field
Select the volume curve that will be used for crossfading. You can select LINEAR,
EXPONENTIAL, or LOGARITHMIC curves.
C Set keyrange via MIDI field
Specifies whether you will be able to use the pads or your MIDI keyboard to set the Span
Low/High fields. If you select YES, you can play your MIDI keyboard or strike a pad
when the cursor is located at the Span or High field, and that note number will be input
for the field.
D Play trigger field
Specifies what will happen when note events are received by that key group. You can
select NOTE ON (the key group will sound when note-on occurs), NOTE OFF (the key
group will sound at note-off, and the sample will play in one-shot mode), or TOGGLE
(the key group will begin sounding at note-on, and continue sounding until the next
note-on).
E [F1] key (CLOSE)
Updates the settings and closes the popup window.
5. Make the desired settings in each field.
6. When you have finished making settings, press the [F1] key (CLOSE).
The settings will be updated, and the popup window will close.
Specifying mute groups
Here’s how you can assign each key group or note number to a Mute Group. Key groups
or note numbers that are assigned to the same mute group will not sound simultaneously.
1. Select the program that you want to edit, and access the Pitch page.
2. Move the cursor to the Kg/Note field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select a key
group or note number.
3. Move the cursor to the Mute Group field, and turn the [JOG] dial to select a
mute group number.
4. Move the cursor to the Mute Group field of another key group or note number
that you want to add to the same mute group, and specify the same mute group
number.
5. If you want to check the current mute group settings, press the [WINDOW] key
when the cursor is located in the Mute Group field.
Hint: If the Set keygroup via MIDI field is set to YES, you can use the pads or your MIDI keyboard to
specify the key range.
Program mode

The Mute Group popup window will appear.
A Mute Group field
Indicates the mute group that will be displayed in the list.
B Kg/Note field
Indicates the key groups or note numbers that are assigned to the same mute group.
C Zone 1 Sample field
Indicates the name of the sample that is assigned to zone 1 of each key group or note
number.
D [F1] key (CLOSE)
Closes the popup window.
6. To close the popup window, press the [F1] key (CLOSE).
When you play back the sequencer, these MIDI events are sent to the sampler section or the [MIDI OUT]
connectors.
The sampler section receives MIDI events from the sequencer section, pads, and [MIDI IN] connectors, and
produces sounds.
Now let’s take a closer look at how each section is structured.
• Key group programs
This type of program uses a region of consecutive note numbers to play a sample at varying pitches. You
will use key group programs to play sounds such as bass or piano.
The region of note numbers to which one sample is assigned is called a “key group,” and the range of notes
that play a key group is called the “key span.”
Just as for a drum program, you can use up to four zones in a key group.
