Quick Layer/Split Function; Quick Layer - Korg KROSS Operation Manual

Quick Layer/Split function

Quick Layer is a function that makes it easy to set up a layer,
letting you play two sounds that are layered together. You
can also adjust the volume balance.
Quick Split is a function that lets you make split settings so
that you can play different sounds on the left and right
regions of the keyboard. You can select each of the two
programs, and adjust their volume and octave.
Note: The sound you create will be saved as a combination.
Note: This function makes layer or split settings that
combine two program sounds. Since Combination mode lets
you use up to 16 programs to create complex layers and
splits, you can use Combination mode to make more detailed
edits to the layer or split sound that you created here.

A typical example of using layers is a sound that layers
strings with piano or electric piano. As an example, here's
how to create this sound.
1. Press the PROG button to select Program mode.
2. Select one of the two sounds (piano) that you want to
layer.
Turn the CATEGORY dial to select PIANO, and then
turn the SELECT dial to select the piano program that
you want to use.
Press the OK (MENU) button or the ENTER button. (see
"Selecting Programs" on page 23)
3. Press the LAYER button. (The button blinks.)
The QUICK LAYER dialog box will appear. Play the
keyboard, and you'll hear the layer sound.
4. Select the other program (strings) that will be layered
with the program you selected in step 2; then specify
its volume and pitch.
