GETTING STARTED GUIDE

Splits and Layers

Programs can be Split into Multis, so that keys in one region of the keyboard play a different

program than another region. Programs can also be Layered into Multis, so that more than

one Program can be played by striking one key. Press the Split or Layer soft button to create a

Split or Layer Multi containing the current Program. You will then be able to add up to three

additional programs to create a Split or Layered Multi containing up to four Programs.

Multi Mode

Multi mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 4 Programs split and/

or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard. The volume of the Program in

each Zone can be easily adjusted while you are playing by using sliders A through D, and each

Zone can be muted and enabled by using the Zone Mute buttons above these sliders. You can

create custom assignments for the remaining sliders, buttons and foot controllers to control

effects and synthesis parameters of each Program.

Multi Edit Mode

Multi Edit Mode is used to modify the many parameters that make up Multis, including

Program Selection, Volume, Pan, Controller assignments, effects and the layering and split

options. Multi Edit Mode allows for powerful customizations of the many built in sounds

available on Artis and allows you to make new and unique sound combinations for your own

performances and compositions.

Global Mode

Global Mode gives you access to the global parameters of the Artis. It allows you to edit

the master settings of the unit. It also allows you to restore factory defaults on the unit by

performing a Hard or Soft Reset. Some of the more common settings are summarized below

Saving to External Storage

Programs and Multis that you have created can be saved to a USB Flash Drive or a computer/

tablet.

Loading from External Storage

Programs and Multis can be loaded onto the Artis from USB Flash Drives or a computer/

tablet. This allows you to load new sounds from Kurzweil or other developers, or to load

sounds that you have previously saved.

MIDI Settings

MIDI channels, modes and other parameters related to transmitting and receiving MIDI are

set within the MIDI pages.
