The C-800 allows five of the above timbres to be com-
=n=i bined and played two at a time (except PIANO & STRINGS).
This is called ''layering". Pressing two timbre switches
at a time, for example the PIANO and VIBES switches,
allows simultaneous play of both these timbres.
Layering reduces the number of simultaneous notes that
can be played to 8.

[Adjusting the Balance Between the Layered Timbres]
A handy aspect of the C-800's layering function is the ability to change the
relative volume level of the two timbres.
For example, press the PIANO and VIBES
switches together to select layering, but don't release the switches yet. Continue
holding the PIANO switch down and release only the VIBES switch. Still holding the
PIANO switch down, press the VIBES switch one or more times to increase the volume
level of the vibes relative to the piano.
If you go too far, press and hold the
VIBES switch, release the PIANO switch, and then press the PIANO switch one or
more times to increase the volume level of the piano relative to the vibes.
Releasing both switches locks in the current balance setting. (Pressing the timbre
switches or entering Multi Mode resets the balance to its original setting. )
