The Soft Button Functions

The Soft Button Functions
Some of the soft buttons in Program Edit Mode perform a function when pressed.

New Layer (NEW LYR)

Press the NEW LYR soft button to create a new VAST layer. A new layer will be created
numbered one above the highest layer in the Program. A VAST layer can use samples,
oscillators, and various DSP functions.

Duplicate Layer (DUP LYR)

Create a copy of the current layer, duplicating the settings of all its parameters. The copy
becomes the current layer, and is the highest-numbered layer in the program.

Import Layer (IMP LYR)

Copy a specific layer from another program into the current program. This button brings
up a dialog that prompts you to select a layer number and a program number. The dialog
tells you the currently selected layer, and the total number of layers in the program. Use the
LAYER– or LAYER+ soft buttons (or the alpha wheel) to change the layer number. If the
current program has only one layer, pressing these buttons will have no effect. Use PROG–
or PROG+ soft buttons (or the alpha wheel) to change the program number.
While you are in this dialog, you can listen to the layer you are selecting to import, along
with all other layers in the current program. If you want to hear the layer to be imported by
itself, you must mute the other layers.
When you have selected the desired layer from the desired program, press the IMPORT
soft button, and the selected layer will be copied from the selected program, becoming the
current layer. Importing layers is a convenient alternative to creating layers from scratch. If
you have a favorite string sound, for example, and you want to use it in other programs, just
import its layer(s) into the program you're building. This will preserve the envelopes and all
the control settings so you don't have to reprogram them.
Delete Layer (DEL LYR)
Press this button to view the Delete Layer Page. You can select a Layer to delete by using the
CHANNEL/LAYER/ZONE/TRACK buttons. Press the DELETE soft button to delete the
selected Layer, or press the BACK soft button to cancel.
