location in the User Bank, select the location via the Group Select and Sound Select
buttons (or using the Value buttons) before pressing Save again.
Pressing any other button while the Save button is blinking will cancel the save

Creating a Layer Setup with Velocity-dependent
Zones
This tutorial will help you create a Setup with two active Zones such that one Zone will
be heard when the Setup is played softly and the other Zone will be heard when the Setup
is played loudly. As an example for this tutorial, let's consider creating a Setup in which an
acoustic guitar is heard when the Setup is played softly, and an electric guitar is heard when
the Setup is played loudly. Additionally, let's have our example Setup be louder when the
electrical guitar is heard.
1. First we need a Setup with two active Zones. The easiest way to create such a Setup
that will serve the purpose of this tutorial is by creating a two-Layer Setup (see Creating
a Layer Setup from a Program on page 11-4). For our example, let's choose Program 96 Ac
Guitar for our Primary Voice and Program 102 Rockin' Lead. Set the following Layer
parameters like so:
Remember to save your Setup!
Alternatively, we could edit a factory Setup. This, however, would take longer since we
would have to check all of the parameters for both active Zones to make sure that they
are equal before we start editing the parameters that differ between Zones.
Let's now go into Edit Setup Mode by pressing the Edit Setup Function button. In this
Mode, we will alter the velocity ranges of the Zones in our Setup. See Edit Setup Mode on
page 8-1 for more information on the parameters of a Setup.
For Zone 1 (our acoustic guitar Zone), set the following two parameters like so (use the
Chan / Param buttons to select the parameters and the Value buttons to edit them):
For Zone 2 (our acoustic guitar Zone), set the following two parameters like so (again,
