Layer Dynamics - Kawai CA91 Owner's Manual

5) Layer Dynamics

In Dual mode sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between the two layered sounds is not enough
to create the desired sound character if both sounds are very dynamic. Two equally dynamic sounds can be
diffi cult to control and play comfortably. The layer dynamics function allows you to limit the overall dynamic sen-
sitivity of the layered sound to create a perfect blend between both sounds in a layer. In addition to reducing the
volume of the layered sound, limiting the dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound also makes the layered sound
easier to control in relation to the main sound as you play. With this function, you can comfortably play as dy-
namically as you like with the main sound while maintaining control of the layered sound.
For example, when you play in dual mode using Concert Grand Piano and String Ensemble, you can use the
layer dynamics function to adjust the String Ensemble dynamics to your taste.
Step 1
Use the MENU buttons to select the layer dynamics function.

= 10
The second line on the display shows the value.
Step 2
Use the VALUE buttons to set the value.
You can select the level of dynamics from 1 to 10. A value of 1 produces the greatest reduction in dynamics and
a value of 10 produces no change in the dynamics. The default value is 10.
Step 3
When you are fi nished, press any one of the SOUND SELECT buttons to exit the menu.
The layer dynamics function setting defaults to "10" each time the power is turned off. You can use the user memory
function (page 76), to save your desired layer dynamics setting. This way your current layer dynamics setting will re-
main even after the power is turned off.
