Keyboard Settings; Using Layer; Using Split - Casio CTK-671 User Manual

Keyboard Settings

This section describes how to use layer (to play two tones
with a single key) and split (to assign different tones to ei-
ther end of the keyboard), and how to make touch response,
transpose, and tuning settings.

Using Layer

Layer lets you assign two different tones (a main tone and a
layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever
you press a key. For example, you could layer the FRENCH
HORN tone on the BRASS SECTION tone to produce a rich
and brassy sound.

First select the main tone.

Now try playing something on the keyboard.
• Both tones are played at the same time.
5.
Press the LAYER button again to unlayer the tones
and return the keyboard to normal.
NOTE
• The main tone sounds over Channel 1, while the layered tone
sounds over Channel 2. You can also use the Mixer to change
the tone and volume settings for these channels.
• Layer cannot be used while standing by for recording or while
recording is being performed in the Song Memory Mode.

Using Split

With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone
and a split tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets
you play one tone with your left hand and another tone with
your right hand. For example, you could select STRINGS as
the main (high range) tone and PIZZICATO STRINGS as the
split (low range) tone, putting an entire string ensemble at
your fingertips.
Split also lets you specify the split point, which is the loca-
tion on the keyboard where the changeover between the two
tones occurs.
NOTE
• Leave the MODE switch in the NORMAL or FULL RANGE
CHORD position.
