Not specific keys, but zones.  I think this is what Aaron meant by 
key windows.

For each layer in each preset you have a low point, a high point, a 
low fade range, and a high fade range.

If the fade range is 000, the layer you are editing will sound within 
the lo to high range.  Hence, it is a switch rather than a cross fade.

You can do this with key (note number), velocity, and real-time 
controllers.

RELATED EXCERPT FROM SIMLUATED DRUM MAPS POST:

Layers may be (1) switched or (2) cross-faded across the keyboard 
map, across the velocity map, and across real-time controller maps.

RELATED EXCERPT FROM BTS [BEATS] DISCUSSION:

L1 may be a SFX (Special Effects) ROM Instrument assigned to the 
keyboard range C-2 through A#0, L2 may be a KIT (drum kit)ROM 
Instrument assigned to the keyboard range B0 through B3, L3 may be a 
BAS (Bass) ROM Instrument assigned to the keyboard range C4 through 
B5, and L4 may be a STR (string) ROM Instrument assigned to the 
keyboard range C6 through G8.
