Keyboard splits in SS2?

[dmf]

SS2 is an amazing musical instrument. Fantastic sounds. Thank you Squids and company!

Has anyone come up with a way to split sounds over separate areas of a single keyboard. For example a bass on the lower range and a lead on the upper octaves. I have tried using the Zone function but couldn't get it to work.

The volume control seems to be applied to the entire sound, not a selected zone.

The combi's are great for stacking sounds, but can different sounds be put to different ranges on the keyboard?

The "volume" per zone you are looking for is called "Level" of Envelope 1 (amp). But this is just a trick to do it which sometimes works and sometimes won't depending on the multisamples and where they are.

However, perhaps in a future update there will be split range settings and perhaps some other things... stay tuned!

Squids, thanks for the quick reply. I will experiment with the Envelope controls. I am always "tuned".

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't this be accomplished by using the ZONE feature on your keyboard (assuming you have one).

I've never used it, but my understanding is that my controller keyboard (M-Audio Keystation Pro 88) has 4 zones that can operate independently.

I assume I could set each one of these to transmit on a different midi channel (let's say 1, 2, 3 & 4). Then in SS2, I could load up a different sound in each of those corresponding locations allowing me to trigger different sounds.

Again, I've never done it, so maybe I'm making a wrong assumption here. Anyone know?

Sure, you can always do it that way. Good point.

Using your MIDI controller keyboard for split zones is probably easiest. Otherwise you might be able to do it using MIDI processing in your host/sequencer.

Forever,

If your midi keyboard doesn't have zone control but you do happen to have EnergyXT, this is a fantastic device for this sort of thing, you could control different instruments by zone, velocity, midi controller sends, program changes and god knows what else.

Of course you can do shit loads more than just creating keyzones for SS2, but there's a start.

Thanks Caleb. Where can I find out how to do this in eXT?

[kara]

You can do it with the MIDI patcher component.

I think this set up should work Gordon.

This is just a two zone keysplit.
You can also split on velocity as you can see.

PM me if you need to ask any questions or if it doesn't work. I haven't tried it out myself, but it looks OK to me on the surface.
