Quick Layer/Split; Quick Layer Example: Adding Strings To A Piano Combination - Korg NAUTILUS 61 AT Operation Manual

Quick Layer/Split

The Quick Layer/Split feature makes it easy to create simple
layers and splits. Starting with either a Program or
Combination, you can add another Program as a layer, or
split the keyboard so that the current sound plays on one side
of the keyboard (either upper or lower), and a different
Program plays on the other.
All of the Quick Layer/Split controls are non-destructive and
reflected immediately when playing on the keyboard. You
can experiment with different settings, and fine-tune until
you find the perfect sound.

Here, we'll walk through a typical use of Quick Layer:
adding a string layer to a piano sound. Many of the steps are
identical to the Quick Layer functionality in PROGRAM
mode, but there are a few differences unique to
COMBINATION mode. Let's start with the piano:
1. In COMBINATION mode, select a piano sound-for
instance, A000: Piano & Constant Voices.
For details on how to select a Combination, see
"Selecting Combinations" on page 55.

Quick Split
While you can start with either a Program or a Combination,
the additional split or layer sound must always be a Program,
and the results of Quick Layer/Split are always saved as a
new Combination. After saving, you can then edit the new
Combination as desired.
For more basic details on Quick Layer/Split, see "Quick
Layer/Split" on page 35.
2. Press the Quick Layer button.
The Quick Layer dialog box opens (see the "Quick Layer
dialog," above).
This dialog box lets you make all of the basic settings for
the new layered sound. First, we'll select a strings
Program to layer with the piano.
3. Press the Program Select Popup in the LAYER PROG
section, and choose the Strings category. Select the
Program H048: Small Pop Strings, and press OK.
You can also select Programs by bank and number, or by
using Find. For more information, see "Selecting by bank
and number" on page 26, "Selecting by Category" on
page 27, and "Using the Find feature" on page 27.
When you play the keyboard, you'll now hear a layered
sound with piano and strings. The strings will sound close
to the way that they do in PROGRAM mode, including
their insert effects (IFX), but they will now use the
Master and Total Effects (MFX and TFX) of the piano
Combination. For more information, see "Limitations of
Quick Layer/Split" on page 62.
If you like, you can also select a different Main
Combination, using the controls in the MAIN COMBI
section.
