Layer, Split, And Velocity Switch; Adjusting The Volume - Korg Trinity series Basic Manual

Layer, split, and velocity switch

In a combination, you can use keyboard position or velocity to change the program that will
sound. The program assigned to a timbre can be sounded in three ways; layer, split, or velocity
switch. The types used in the preset combinations are given in the separate Voice Name List book-
let.
To use these types, first set all timbres' MIDI channels to match the Global MIDI Channel. You can
set the timbres' MIDI channels in P1 tab page 1 of Combination Edit mode.
Layer
A setting that causes two or more programs to sound simultaneously when a note is played is
referred to as a Layer.
A combination which is not playing a layer can be changed into a layer-type combination by mak-
ing settings in Combination Edit mode P3, tab page 1 (Key Zone) so that the note ranges of differ-
ent timbres sounded will overlap. For details refer to page 38 in this manual, "Key Zone settings."
Split
A setting that causes different programs to sound in different areas of the keyboard is referred to
as a Keyboard Split.
A combination which is not a split-type combination can be made into a split-type combination by
making settings in Combination Edit mode P3, tab page 1 (Key Zone) so that the note ranges of
different timbres sounded will not overlap. For details refer to "Key zone settings" on page 38 in
this manual.
Velocity Switch
A setting that causes different programs to be sounded by notes of different velocities (playing
strengths) is referred to as a Velocity Switch.
A combination which does not use velocity switching can be made to use it by making settings in
Combination Edit mode P3, tab page 2 (Velocity Zone) to specify the velocity range of different
timbres in which a program will sound. For details refer to "Velocity zone settings" on page 39 in
this manual.
Layer
Split
Velocity Switch
On the TRINITY series you can use up to 8 timbres, each playing a different program. This allows
you to combine layer, split, and velocity switch settings in the same combination to create very
complex setups.
The TRINITY series allow you to specify the slope amount (the degree of diminishing sound) for
the Key Zone and Velocity Zone settings.

Adjusting the volume

The volume of timbres 1—8 is adjusted by Combination Play mode Volume, and the Combination
Edit mode P1, tab page 2 (Tunb Oaran2) parameter Volume. The volume setting made in Combi-
nation Play mode and Combination Edit mode are the same setting, and modifying one will set
the other to the same value. The volume balance of the timbres is an important part of creating a
tonal balance, and will affect the overall character of the combination.
