Layer Mode - Gear4music DP-12 User Manual

LAYER MODE

Layer mode allows two of the piano's voices to be
played simultaneously.
To select the two sounds to be layered, first press
the [FUNCTION/RIGHT] button to enter edit mode.
Using the voices list (see page 11) for reference,
press and hold down the piano key that
corresponds to the required main voice. The
selected voice number will be shown on the
display. Whilst continuing to hold this key down,
press the corresponding key of the required
second voice. The display will now show the voice
number of the layered sound.
The data control wheel can now be used to select
different layer voices, with the main voice remaining
the same.
Please note that polyphony may be reduced when
using layer mode.
The individual volumes of the two layered voices
can be adjusted if required. To do this, press the
[FUNCTION/RIGHT] button to enter edit mode,
followed by either piano key F#0 to select the
main voice or Ab0 to select the layer voice. The
data control wheel can now be used to adjust the
volume as required, from 0-127. The keys can be
played as the volume is adjusted to ensure you get
a desired mix of the two sounds.
Please note, if split mode is engaged and then
layer mode is selected, the layer voice will only be
applied to the keys to the right of the split point.
To exit layer mode, press the [FUNCTION/RIGHT]
button followed by any single voice select piano
key.
