I frequently split the MODX8 keyboard into 3 (or even 4) sections. In order to keep enough keys available for other parts, I then play chords in the ultimate left keys section. In such cases I sometimes want to raise the pitch by 3 octaves, but the pitch setting only goes up to 24 notes. Is there a way to further raise the pitch of a performance by another octave?

Coarse Tuning (Element Edit) goes +/- 48 Semitones... but then the Samples don't sound right in extreme cases.
Note Shift is +/- 24 Semitones... this leaves Samples intact (it plays the right sample for the Key Pitch). This basically shifts the MIDI Keys up or down. This is my preferred method.
In reality, you are best to max out the Note Shift, and extend beyond that with Coarse Tune
e.g. +3 Ocataves = (NoteShift = +24) + (Tune Coarse +12).
EDIT: P.S. I keep meaning to have a look at Zones and see if it can be exploited to set Keyboard Key Ranges to whatever "Pitch" you want them... e.g. have the High Ivories playing Sub Bass Notes.
