The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Was wondering if anyone here could help. Ideally, I want a patch 
where there is one scene of a percussive sequence on the lowest 
octave and another scene of a lead sound on the rest of the keyboard. 
I've tried to do this by importing the lead sound as the 2nd scene 
and having the patch in Split Mode. However, it just splits the Scene 
across the whole keyboard. I'm going insane as this patch/concept is 
crucial to a song we're trying to write. I have to have my bottom 
synth freed up for other things. Is this doable or I am just missing 
something in the manual (I've nearly worn out the pages concerning 
Scenes). Thanks.

Off the top of my head, you need to adjust the key split point (line 2,
position 2 of the editing matrix thingie).

Phil, 

I adjusted the split point to where the percussive tone which is 
arpeggiating is in the bottom octave only. I did this when originally 
setting up the patch, but the 1st Scene is still just spread across 
the entire keyboard.

If your Voice is set to Split mode and the Split Point is set as 
desired then double check the KbdMode parameter under 
VOICE/ARP/SEQ. The value for KbdMode should be 'chrd&norm' 
to for what you describe.

HTH,

There are several split modes that apply in when using the sequencer.  You need to read the 3-4 pages in the manual on sequencing to understand how the split point and the mode interact.  It's not magic, but it is a little complicated.

If you need the manual, I have it online at:
