How To Create A Split And Layered Voice - Yamaha SY99 Owner's Manual

Each normal voice consists of one, two, or four elements. By restricting each element to a specified range
of the keyboard or a specified range of velocity values, you can create a split and/or layered voice.

How to create a split and layered voice

In this example, we will create a four-element voice by copying element data
from other voices, and then setting the voice common parameters Element Note
Limit and Element Velocity Limit so that each voice plays only in the range we
specify.
Element 1: AFM brass (from P1-C06 DrkHorn) for notes above C3, sounded by
velocities above 80
Element 2: AFM strings (from P2-C11 StgLayr) for notes above C3, sounded by
velocities up to 79
Element 3: AWM piano (from P1-A01 Rocks) across the entire keyboard, all
velocities
Element 4: AWM bass (from P2-C06 Upright) for notes up to C3, all velocities
We will begin by initializing the voice common data. (The data of each element
will be overwritten by the elements we copy into the voice.) Select a non-drum
voice. From the top level of voice edit mode, press F2 (Com), select job
15:Initlz., and press ENTER. Press YES in response to the "Are you sure?"
display.
In this example we will create a four-element voice containing two AFM ele-
ments and two AWM elements. In the top level of voice edit mode, press F1
(Mode) to get the voice mode job, and select voice mode 10:2AFM&2AWM.
