Layering is an easy way to make fatter sounds by mixing an additional sound to the current
one. With the layering function, your MARK PRO ONE i can sound like a huge ensemble
as played by multiple performers.
To layer an additional sound to the current one, while holding down the [Layer] button,
select sounds by pressing one of the C1 ~ G3 keys as you select the primary sounds. That's it.
Your MARK PRO ONE i will generates the two selected sounds together when you play
the keyboard. You can select any of 32 primary sounds for the layering sounds. If you
press the [Layering] button only, the "Piano+String" sound will be selected.
# The layered sounds cannot be saved. Turning off the MARK PRO ONE i or
selecting another sounds will erase the previous layering.
The most often used layering techniques are mixing two sounds (Piano with Strings or Pads)
each with fast attack and slow attack for richer and punchier sounds, or layering a few
similar sounding programs (Brasses, Strings, Analog Synths, etc.) to fatten the sounds. Also,
mixing pitched and non-pitched instruments together can be very interesting. Most of all,
experiment and enjoy! It is all about your taste.
You can adjust the volume balance between the primary voice and the layered voice. The
MARK PRO ONE i has the volume range from 0 to 127. Adjust the volume level of the
layered sound by pressing one of the C5 ~ E5 keys while holding down the [Layer] button.
The D5 key sets the volume level to 100, which is the default. Pressing the C#5 key
increases the volume level by 1 and the D#5 key decreases the volume level by 1. The two
adjacent keys, the C5 and D5 adjust the wet/dry mix by +,-5%. Use the C#7 and D#7 keys
for more precise control.
# The default volume levels for the primary sound and the layered sound are
127 and 100.
