layer
2. . The setup's existing part is duplicated, resulting in a new
part. This new part uses the program but retains the level, effects
mix, and other information of the setup's original part. See the
sidebar for a description of how the parts' letter assignments are
affected.
split low
3. . The setup's existing part is split in two at a particular
key.
The Micron prompts for a note on the keyboard at which to
execute the split. The program is then sent to the lower part of
the split. Every note below the one you select will use this new
program, down to that part's low key setting. Every note including
and higher than the note you select will use the setup's existing part.
The new part is assigned the letter of the part that was split low.
For example, if the setup contains parts A, B, C, and D, and part B
is the part that is split, then the newly added part will become part
B, and the original part will become part C. All later parts' letters
are incremented by one.
To select the split point, turn the control knob or play a key. You
can use the [octave] buttons if your desired split point is outside
of the current key range.
split high
4. . The setup's existing part is split in two at a
particular key.
As with the split low option, the Micron prompts for a note on the
keyboard at which to execute the split. The program is then sent
to the upper part of the split. Every note above the one you select
will use this new program, up to that part's high key setting. Every
note including and lower than the note you select will use the setup's
existing part.
To select the split point, turn the control knob or play a key. You
can use the [octave] buttons if your desired split point is outside
of the current key range.
add part
5. . The program is added as a brand new part across the
entire keyboard range. All other part parameters are set to their
default values as well.

How part letters change
when "layer," "split low,"
and "split high" are used
When parts are layered or
split high, the new part is
assigned the next letter after
the targeted part. All
subsequent part letters are
incremented by one.
For example, consider a
setup with four existent parts:
If we split part B, the result is
as follows:
A
B
C
D
A
B (low split of B)
C (high split of B)
D (formerly "C")
E (formerly "D")
