You can come up with some effective Layered sounds by combining Soft and Hard Velocity Curves.
Ex. 1: In a layered patch, when you combine Soft1 and Hard1, or Soft2 and Hard2, as the Velocity Curve
settings for pad bank A and pad bank B, respectively, striking the pad lightly sounds the Instrument of pad
bank A, and the harder you hit, the louder you can make the sound of the pad bank B Instrument become
(Velocity Cross fade).
Ex. 2: In a layered patch, when you combine Soft3 and Hard3, or Soft4 and Hard4, as the Velocity Curve
settings for pad bank A and pad bank B, respectively, you can switch the pad bank A and pad bank B
Instruments with the strength with which you strike the pads (Velocity Switch).
