[. . . ] In this position the voice will sound only over the keyboard range specified by the low and high keys.

When this parameter is selected, notes can be entered from either the keyboard or by using the Data Entry Slider or {VALUE} buttons. Select this parameter and play the low key: the note you played is entered as the low key, and the cursor switches to the high key. Now play the high key: the note you played is entered as the high key, and the cursor disappears. If you made a mistake, or want to enter a different range of values, just select the parameter again and repeat the process. 30 ENSONIQ KT Musician's Manual Section 6 -- Standard Sound Parameters Edit Sound page 72 Output Bus/Priority Output Bus = FX1 Priority= MEDIUM Output Bus Range: DRY, FX1, or FX2 Each voice within a sound can be routed to one of three stereo "busses. " The diagram below shows a typical routing of the signals for each bus. See Section 3 -- Understanding Effects for more information on effects routing and programming specific effects. DRY FX1 Effect 1a Effect 1b Mix1 Effect 2 R L Audio Outputs FX2 Mix2 Priority Range: LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH Gives you control over how voices will be reassigned, or "stolen, " to play new notes when all the KT's voices are already playing. A voice can be can assigned LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH priority. The rule is that a given voice will only be allowed to steal from voices with the same or lower priority. LOW can be used for voices within a sound that would be missed the least if stolen (such as a voice playing the same wave as another voice but detuned a bit). HIGH is best used only for specific applications in which you want to protect a voice or voices from being stolen -- such as drums or a sustaining "pad" sound in a sequencer track. ENSONIQ KT Musician's Manual 31 Section 6 -- Standard Sound Parameters Edit Sound page 73 Pan/Mod Source/Mod Amount Pan = +00 Mod=<OFF> * +00 Pan Range: -98 to +98 Pans the voice within the stereo field. A value of +00 pans the voice center, -98 pans the voice hard left, and +98 pans the voice hard right. Mod Source Range: various Selects a modulation source for the voice panning from among the 15 available modulators. This will cause the voice's location in the stereo field to vary with the output level of the modulation source. Mod Amount Range: -99 to +99 Determines the amount by which the assigned volume modulator will affect the panning of the voice. Edit Sound page 74 Vel Window Vel Window > 000 Vel Window Range: <=124 to >124 Selects a key velocity below which, or above which, the voice will not sound. This allows velocity switching between different voices within the sound. When the value is 000, the parameter will have no effect. Values from 000 to >124 mean that the voice will only play when the key velocity is greater than the number shown. Values from <=016 to <=124 mean that the voice will only play when the key velocity is less than or equal to the number shown. 32 ENSONIQ KT Musician's Manual Section 6 -- Standard Sound Parameters ENSONIQ KT Musician's Manual 33 Section 7 -- Drum Sound Parameters Section 7 -- Drum Sound Parameters This section covers those functions that can be edited independently for each voice within a Drum sound.
