The users guide was excellent. It provided the information neeeded to connect and control the Crate system. Nothing was left to chance

Setup Mode Next strike the key you wish to specify for the Low Key value. The pointer then moves and waits for the High Key to be struck:
Z1:Strike Low Key Lo: C2 �Hi: C7
Note that keys struck to set these parameters do not sound. After both Low Key and High Key are set, keyboard operation returns to normal.
Edit Note Shift
Note shift is like transposition for each separate zone. It is called note shift because the MIDI note numbers that would normally be sent for a key are being shifted. You can use this parameter in 2 creative ways. First, if you are splitting your keyboard, you might notice that a program in a zone is too high on the right side and too low on the left side. You can shift the left program up by an octave or two, and shift the right program down by an octave or two, and get a better result. Second, if you are layering your keyboard, you might want the �second program� to be up or down an octave, or even some other interval!
Z1:Edit Note Shift Shift: -12st
Each zone can have a different Note Shift (transpose). The display shows the shift amount relative to Middle C in semitones for the current zone. The + and - buttons step and the data slider scans through possible shift amounts.
Edit Velocity Range
Velocity ranges allow you to create a setup where a soft strike on a key will play one program, while a hard strike on the same key will play a different one!
Z1:Edit Vel Range �Lo: 1 Hi: 90
Z1:Edit Vel Range Lo: 1 �Hi: 90
The 2 parameters Velocity Range Low and Velocity Range High define a velocity window. If a key press produces a velocity inside a zoneʹs window (between the Low and High values), the note is sent to the zone; if the velocity is outside (less than Low or greater than High), then no note is sent. It is also possible to specify a reversed range. If a reversed range is specified (High is less than Low), then the note will be sent if the velocity is outside the range and not sent if it is inside the range. The arrow indicates which parameter is being edited. The arrow can be moved between Low and High by using the up and down menu buttons at the left of the display.
