Can you clarify what you mean by F1-F4?

I am using a 3 octave midi keyboard, and naturally it selects F1 - F4 as it's default. Is there any way of changing this via the software? (My keyboard has no control surfaces, just the keys.) Thanks, Luke. I would like some general reason help please…

First, create a combinator. Inside that combinator, create a line mixer. Then, with the line mixer selected, create 2 NN-XTs. Next, click the "Show Programmer" button on the combinator. You should see a panel called "key mapping". There will be 3 instruments listed, line mixer, NN-XT 1 and NN-XT 2. Click the name of one of them. At the bottom of the key mapper, there are a list of parameters. Two of them are of interest for this: Key Range Lo. Hi. Click on "Lo" and drag upwards, you should see the note value change (and the visual range on the key mapper shrink). Do this to get one of the ranges set, then click the second NN-XT and do the same. You now have 2 NN-XTs being controlled on the keyboard in different key ranges. You can use this to have a bass synth in the low range and a lead synth in the high range. Hope that helps! :D Ben,

I am using a similar setup live and i was using several combinators like you are but i assigned different key ranges for each combinator so i would have like 3 effects at one on one keyboard. But do you know if there is a way to change the octave of each combinator so that i could have lets say two nnxt's that use the same octave range but would be on the same keyboard. That might have sounded extrememly confusing. But i have several sounds that i would like to have on the keyboard at once. but they use the same octave range so i'm stumped on what to do?? is there a way to make like the nnxt higher pitched so that when i assign it to a lower octave range it would be right on the money??? thanks for the sweet tutorial!! it opened up a whole new world to me!!! :) Hey eric i do have one question.
