Setup Mode

The Layer Function

There are four parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Split. You
can view these parameters by scrolling through them using the Chan / Param buttons. To
edit them, use the Alpha Wheel or Value buttons. The Split Function will initially have the
last used Split Program, Split Volume, Split Key, and Split Transposition, or defaults for
these if this is the first time since power-up.
When using the Split Function, the Keypad button is active for the Split Volume and
Split Transposition parameters. For these parameters, you can enter a new value using
the alphanumeric data entry buttons. The Keypad button is also active for the Split Key
parameter, you can directly select the Split Key by holding down the Select button and then
striking the desired key on the keyboard.

Split Program

This parameter determines the Program for the Secondary Voice (left-hand side) of the
Split—the current Program is the Program for the Primary Zone (right-hand side) of the
Split. The Secondary Voice will be the last used Split Program or the default Program (ID
number 236 Motown Bass) if this is the first time your using the Split Function since
power-up. Any Program can be chosen for this parameter.

Split Volume

This parameter determines the relative volumes of the Secondary and Primary Voices—it
can be set to any number between -127 and 127. By default, the Split Volume is set to 0,
which results in both Voices having the same volume. When set to a positive number, the
volume for the Secondary Voice is increased while the volume for the Primary Voice is
decreased—doing the opposite has the opposite effect on the relative volumes of the Voice.

Split Key

This parameter determines the boundary of the Split—it can be set to any number between
21 (A0) and 108 (C8). By default, the Split Key is set to 60 (C4, or middle C). The chosen key
is the highest note in the Secondary Voice—one note above this note is the lowest note in
the Primary Voice.

Split Transposition

This parameter determines the transposition of the Secondary Voice relative to that of
the Primary Voice—it can be set to -24, -12, 0, 12, and 24. By default, Split Transposition
is set to 0. Note that if the Primary Voice is transposed, then the Secondary Voice will be
transposed by the same amount in addition to being transposed by the amount set for the
Split Transposition.
