Section 7 — Voice Parameters
Tutorial — Velocity and Layers
This tutorial will give you an example of how velocity can be used to call up
layers:
• Press the Sample button, and pick a sample instrument. Press Enter•Yes
and say "one," then press Cancel•No to stop sampling. Make middle C the
root key. That is layer one.
• Press the Sample button again, pick the same sample instrument. The display
reads UNNAMED I LYR=1 WS=NEW. Underline LYR=1, and set it to
LYR=N. Press Enter•Yes. Press Enter•Yes again and say "two." Make
middle C the same root key. That is layer two.
• Press the Sample button, then pick the same sample instrument. Underline
LYR=2 in the display, and change it to LYR=N. Press Enter•Yes twice, and
say "three." That is layer three. Again, select middle C as the root key. When
you play middle C, you will hear samples, "one, two, and three," in layers one,
two, and three.
Now that we have our Wavesamples, the LAYER VELOCITY parameter can be
used.
• Press Edit. This places you on the Wavesample select page. Using the Data
Entry Slider or Arrow buttons, adjust the page so the screen reads,
UNNAMED I LYR=1 WS=ALL.
• Press the Layer button. This will take you to the EDIT/Layer page. Scroll to
the LYR VEL screen and underline and adjust this parameter so it reads LYR
VEL LO=0 HI=42.
• Press the Edit button again, which takes you back to the EDIT page.
Underline LYR=1 in the display and change it to LYR=2. The complete display
reads UNNAMED I LYR=2 WS=ALL. Pressing the Edit button takes you
back to the EDIT/Layer page (the Edit button acts as a toggle).
• Set the EDIT/Layer parameters to LYR VEL LO=42 HI=85. Press the Edit
button again, to return to the EDIT page. Underline LYR=2 and set it to
LYR=3. Press the Edit button to toggle back to the EDIT/Layer page. Set
these Parameters to LYR VEL LO=86 HI=127.
All three Layers are now set to respond to velocity. A layer will only play when
the velocity is within the range specified on this page. A soft attack will call up
sample "one," a medium attack, sample "two," and a hard attack, sample "three."
Remember, you can do this with up to eight layers.
