Instrument Controls
To the right of all instruments in the Key Rig is an instrument control area and mixer.
Load/Save: in addition to the global Load/Save menus at the top of the Rig, each instrument has its own Load/Save menu and library of
patches. Clicking the area above the Load and Save buttons produces a drop-down list of all factory content for an instrument. Patches can be
loaded for the instrument by clicking a patch in the drop-down list. The patch will be loaded and its name displayed in the slot. When clicking
Load or Save buttons, a Load/Save dialog appears. Patches are loaded and saved into folders with a name corresponding to the particular
instrument chosen.
Hi/Lo: sets the highest and lowest notes for the instrument’s key range.
Tr: transposes the instrument by any amount within a range of plus or minus 24 semitones.
Ch: selects the MIDI channel used to play the instrument.
MFX: sets the send level for the instrument to the MFX (master effects) at the top of the Rig.
Pan: sets the instrument’s pan position.
On: turns the instrument on or off.
Volume: the slider on the right-hand side of the instrument controls section controls the instrument volume. A meter displays output level
when the instrument is played.
SP-1 Stage Piano
The SP-1 Stage Piano will play two piano or pad presets simultaneously, chosen via the Preset Selector wheels. The two presets can be layered or
split, or you can choose to play only a single preset by choosing “None” with one of the Preset Selector wheels. The presets include seven acoustic
pianos, four electric pianos, and three pads (only available for the second Preset Selector wheel). The first 10 SP-1 presets are created using
multiple velocity sample layers; preset 11 uses FM synthesis, and presets 12-14 (available only on Preset Selector 2) are made from a combination
of sampled strings and analog synthesis. The SP-1 has two dedicated effects.
