Layer Dynamics

When using Dual mode, sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between the two layered sounds is not
enough to create the desired sound character, especially if both sounds are very dynamic. Layering two equally
dynamic sounds can prove difficult to control and play comfortably.
The Layer Dynamics Function allows the dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to be reduced, in order to improve
the blend between the two combined sounds. In addition to reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting its
dynamic sensitivity also allows the layered sound to be controlled more easily in relation to the main sound.
 Adjusting the Layer Dynamics setting

Press the or MENU buttons to select the Layer Dynamics
setting.
Press the or VALUE buttons to decrease or increase the

* The layer dynamics value can be adjusted within the range of off, 1~10.
Press the EXIT button to exit the Layer Dynamics setting and
