Layering and Splitting

Changing the Wet/Dry Mix From the Front Panel

1. Press FX, then press the Right cursor button until you see the FX Wet/Dry menu.
2. Press Enter. The display should look something like this:
Z:1||Global|A>B:22|%
A:|64|%|||B:(36|%)
The first character is
(zone) if you're coming from MIDI Setups mode. The numeral following the
current layer or zone. Use the zone buttons to change the current zone or layer.
Note: Since the
buttons don't do anything significant, since any change you make to any of the parameters
affects every layer in the program, regardless of which layer is current. The only reason the
there is to remind you that you're adjusting a program and not a setup.
Note the parentheses around the value for B. This indicates that the current zone is not routed to
FX-B. In this case, editing the value of B won't change the wet/dry mix for FX-B. If you routed
the zone to FX-B, the parentheses would disappear.
In performance modes, you can change the wet/dry mix for both FX-A and FX-B without going
to the Wet/Dry parameters. When an effect block is in use, the corresponding knob
(Green Knob A for FX-A and Green Knob B for FX-B) adjusts the wet/dry mix. This is a
performance feature only; if you want to change the wet/dry mixes permanently, you'll need to
use the Wet/Dry parameters, then save either the resulting effect or the entire program or setup.
There's a diagram of the PC2R's audio signal routing on page B-9.

Editing Effects

Each effect has up to four parameters that you can edit to modify the effect. See Editing Effects
Parameters on page 4-28 for more information.
Layering and Splitting
In Internal Voices mode, you can play one program at a time. That's because Internal Voices
mode is based on the internal setup, which contains a single zone (as described on page 4-14). If
you wanted to create a multi-zone setup with different programs in each zone, you could go to
MIDI Setups mode, then start programming (editing): assigning MIDI channels and programs
to zones, making physical controller assignments (for front-panel controllers or programmable
physical controllers on your MIDI source), and so on. This gives you a great deal of control and
flexibility, but it takes a bit of time.
If you're on stage and you suddenly decide that your solo needs two sounds instead of one, you
don't want to take the time to edit a setup; you just want to add another sound as quickly as
possible. Fortunately, the PC2R makes it easy to do this kind of thing without doing any actual
editing.
Layering is playing two sounds on the same part of the keyboard. Splitting is playing two
sounds on different parts of the keyboard. Using the PC2R's AutoSplit feature, you can create a
layer or a split by pressing a single button. With a few more button presses, you can change the
3-18
