Zones - Samson Graphite 49 Manual Del Propietário

Zones

The keyboard can be divided into four zones, sometimes referred to as layers or splits. Each zone
has its own active key range, program number, MSB, LSB, Channel, Port, Octave, and Transpose
settings. The zones can be separated or overlapped. This allows you to layer or split the keyboard
between sounds to expand your performance. Zone 1 is always active. Zone 2–4 can be activated
or disabled in Zone Mode. The display shows the parameters of the selected zone. The factory
default is Zone 1.
Press the ZONE button to enter Zone Mode. The corresponding indicator will light up. Press the
PAGE button to select a zone. The On/Off status appear after the zone number. Press the DATA+
button to engage the zone, and DATA– button to disable the zone. When a zone is activated,
the zone number will appear under the Zone tag in the third row of the display. For each zone
(1–4), the factory default MIDI Out port is 1–4, respectively. Press the MAIN button to return to
Performance Mode.
If zones are activated and overlapped, keys played in the overlap section will send messages to
multiple outputs and more than one voice can be produced. The PITCH BEND wheel, MODULA-
TION wheel, pedal and keyboard aftertouch are applied to all activated zones.
Note: In Performance Mode, the operation of the OCTAVE +/– and TRANSPOSE +/– buttons only affect
Zone 1, even if multiple zones are activated.
Editing Zones
After selecting a zone, press the ENTER button to edit the zone. Press the PAGE ◀ / ▶ buttons to
cycle through the available parameters. Use the DATA +/– buttons or numerical keys to change
the value of the parameter. Press both DATA +/– buttons simultaneously to return to the original
value. When you have completed editing the zones, press the ENTER button or the ENTER key on
the keyboard to save your changes.
Zone settings are nonvolatile, and will be saved even when the power is turned off. You can re-
cover the default Zone settings with the PRESET function. Press the MAIN or ZONE button to exit
Zone Mode and return to Performance Mode. To cancel your changes, before pressing Enter, press
the MAIN or ZONE button to return to Performance Mode.
Note: Zones are saved to the current active Preset.
Note: In Performance Mode, changing the program number, MSB, LSB, Port and Channel only affect
Zone 1. Enter Zone Mode to adjust the parameters of the other active zones.
