Split And Layer Buttons - Kurzweil PC4 SE Musician's Manual

SPLIT and LAYER Buttons

Press the SPLIT or LAYER button to access the Split or Layer functions, which allow you
to split or layer multiple Programs across the keyboard. The Split and Layer functions have
identical parameters, but produce different results.
Use the SPLIT button to quickly create a Multi where keys in different ranges of the
keyboard play different instrument sounds.
Use the LAYER button to quickly create a Multi where different instrument sounds are
layered in the same key range, so that keys in one range of the keyboard play multiple
instrument sounds at the same time.
The Split and Layer functions allow you to quickly create Multis without using Multi Edit
Mode to configure Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. After creating and saving a Split
or Layer Multi, you can edit additional Multi parameters in Multi Edit mode.
SPLIT
When you create a Split in Program Mode, you are creating a Multi with two Zones set to
On.
The Program you were using in Program Mode is used in the right hand of the Split as the
Zone 1 Program. You can choose a Program that will be used in the left hand of the Split as
the Zone 2 Program.
Follow these steps to create a Split:
1. In Program Mode, select a Program for the right hand of the Split.
2. Press the SPLIT button to access the Split Page.
