Hi, I’m hoping someone can give me some assistance as soon as possible!! I have left it to the last minute to create some split points on the mox as I have a band rehearsal tomorrow. Basically, this is the first time I have tried to edit anything on the keyboard and this is how it has panned out so far......... I have standard sounds saved in voices to favourites - piano, organ etc., I then went in to a brass sound I saved - hit split and I am in a “new performance”. I have been able to save these to the performance user banks, assign a new name and split point etc., so that’s all good. I then save these to “favourites” under performances. However, I have two issues - 1) Can I change the octave of a sound in a split point? For example, I have a piano taking up to C4 and the brass at the top. However, I want to bring the brass down an octave. Please tell me this is possible but I can’t seem to sort it myself!! 2) When I transpose the split point also changes. Is there any way to keep the split while transposing? We’ll be changing keys quite a bit tomorrow to see what suits so this issue is gonna be a pain. Obviously I could work around it when the sets keys are confirmed but it would be great if I could keep my split points and freely transpose. Thanks so much for any help, it is really, really appreciated!! (EDIT) Just thought of a workaround to sort problem (1) - I went in and edited the original voice down an octave. Saved that as a user voice and then used that in the split rather than the original sound as such. Now....if only there was a way to sort problem (2) - I doubt it though, I think transpose will always affect my split points. If there is a way to stop it and you tell me......I’ll be a happy man lol!! Thanks |

See Note Shift on page 68 of the MOXF Reference Manual.

You’re apparently transposing the keyboard. If rather than that you Note Shift the Tone Generator, the split point will remain in place. See page 140 of the Reference Manual. I hope you’re happy now. Â :-) |

Hmmm, “legend” - I’m not sure I deserve that, but thanks.

You’re quite welcome. |

I certainly appreciated your help. One other thing - is it possible to have more than one split? I know we can have 4 instruments per performance but can I have 4 splits? |

Performances can, of course, have up to four Parts/Voices. They can be layered or split, depending on the Note Limit setting for each Part. See pages 56 and 65 of the Reference Manual.
Here’s a question for all Motifator members…

I didn’t pose the question as a philosophical/rhetorical one, although I understand how it might be considered that way. I’ve seen/heard the term “split” used to mean “split point”, in which case “3” would appear to be the answer to my question. However, I’ve also had people use “split” when referring to one of the Parts which has been assigned a particular note range, and in that case “4” would seem to be appropriate. I was curious as to which usage was more popular. |

I had thought something may had been afoot when the question was posed, but was unsure of what direction we were headed. This clears it up, and alas, chas and I have not won a prize.
Good question.

I really didn’t intend what I asked to be a “gotcha/trick” question.

I like that approach, it eliminates the ambiguity…

...but I’m not touching that.

LOL. :-) |

Haha I like that a cake has been brought in to the equation lol!! When I talk about splits I’m actually referring to the note range rather than the split point. So if I have a straight forward split of say strings and piano I would say “2 splits” but obviously get the point that it is only 1 split point. |
