Playing and editing Combinations
4. Set the Volume and Octave of the Main Combination
and the Layer Program as desired.
You can adjust the relative levels of the piano and strings,
and change the octave transposition of one or both
sounds. For example, you could reduce the volume of the
strings, and set them to play an octave above the piano.
The Main Combination Volume adjusts the overall
volume while maintaining the balance between individual
Timbres. Internally, it does so by controlling the Timbre
Volume sliders. In order to maintain the original balance,
the editing range when increasing volume is
automatically restricted; once any of the Timbres reaches
its maximum volume setting, the overall volume will not
rise any further.
Since this is a relative adjustment, the parameter will
always start at the default of +000 (no change).
+001...-127 lowers the volume, and +001...+127 raises
the volume.
5. Under "Select ARP/DRUM," choose to use the
ARP/DRUM from either the Main Combination or
Layer Program.
Note: When the ARP button is turned on, playing with
the arpeggiator will be enabled. The notes that play will
follow the selected ARP/DRUM settings. When the
DRUM button is turned on, the notes that play will be
controlled by the Drum function.
The Tempo is initially set to match the selected Drum;
you can then change it as desired. Note that you can't use
both ARP/DRUMs simultaneously.
6. Adjust the Drum Volume as desired.
If the Drum Track plays only one Timbre, that Timbre's
volume is adjusted directly. If the Drum Track plays
multiple Timbres, the overall volume is adjusted while
maintaining the balance between the Timbres, just like
the Main Combination Volume as described above.
