Layering
Chapter 5
This function lets you layer and play two different sounds at the same time. You can layer
voices of two different voices in the same category, and create a composite voice of greater
richness and texture.
First, select a sound for the Main (Primary) sound and press the [Layer] button. A message will
appear on the LCD display.
The [Layer] button LED will light and you can select the (Secondary) sound.
1) Setting the layer volume
This parameter determines the relative volumes of the Primary and
can be set to any number between -127 and 127. By default, the Layer Volume is set to 0,
which results in both sounds having the same volume. When set to a positive number, the
volume for the Secondary Sound is increased while the volume for the Primary Sound is
decreased - doing the opposite has the opposite effect on the relative volumes of the layers.
In Layer mode, press the Transpose [-] or [+] button to reach the Layer Vol display. Then
press the [Previous] or [Next] buttons to adjust the Layer Volume.
Default volume : 0
Volume range : -127 ~ 0 ~ +127
2) Layer Transposition
This parameter determines the transposition of the Secondary Sound relative to that of the
Primary Sound - it can be set to -24, -12, 0, 12, and 24. By default, Layer Transposition is set
to 0. Note that if the Primary Sound is transposed, then the Secondary Sound will be transpo-
sed by the same amount in addition to being transposed by the amount set for the Layer
Transposition.
In Layer mode, press the Transpose [-] or [+] button to reach the LyrTranspose display. Then
press the [Previous] or [Next] buttons to adjust the Layer Transpose.
