Layers And Blocks - Yamaha TNR-W Manual

Layers and Blocks

The TENORI-ON handles a complete set of 16 layers as a "block." You can have up to 16
blocks, each with up to 16 layers. You can switch between blocks instantaneously to create
varied performances with plenty of musical interest.
Parameters that apply to individual layers (voice, pitch, note entry position, etc.) are
internally managed separately from parameters that apply to individual blocks (master
tempo, master transpose, master scale, etc.). This makes it possible, for example, to create
variations within the same song in which only the note timing is altered, and instantly switch
between variations. The only exception is that layers have the same voices throughout all
bocks (e.g. layer 3 in block 1 will use the same voice as layer 3 in block 10), so changing
blocks won't change the voice for a given layer.

Since the blocks will usually hold similar performance data, convenient block copy functions
are provided.
