Layer Volume - Kurzweil Artis SE Musician's Manual

The Layer Function is convenient, as you do not need to use Multi Edit Mode to configure
Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. You can simply hit the Layer button, and the
Artis SE automatically creates a Multi with two active Zones. The Program you were using
in Program Mode is used as the Program for Zone 1. After this you can choose a "Layer
Program" that will be used as the Program for Zone 2.
Once you have saved your Layer as a Multi, you can continue to add Layer or Split Zones in
Multi Mode until you reach the maximum of four active Zones. The Artis SE will display a
message when you have reached the maximum of four active Zones (see Multi Mode on page
7-1, for more information on Multis)
There are three parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Layer.
Layer Program
The Layer Program parameter is the default parameter. It determines the "Layer Program"
that will be layered on top of the Program you were using in Program Mode. Initially the last
used Layer Program will be selected, or, if this is the first time using the Layer Function since
power-up, the default Layer Program (224 Add a Pad 2) will be selected. Choose a Layer
Program using the Category and Program/Multi buttons, the Alpha Wheel, or the
buttons.

Layer Volume

Press a Param/Channel button to select the Layer Volume parameter. This determines the
volumes of the Program from Program Mode and the Layer Program. By default, the Layer
Volume is set to 0, which results in both Programs having the same volume. When set to a
positive number, the volume for the Program from Program Mode is decreased. When set to
a negative number, the volume for the Layer Program is decreased. To set the Layer Volume,
use the Alpha Wheel or
-127 and 127. Pressing the Value Jump button pair resets the volume to 0.
