The LAYER Page
Low Velocity (LoVel)
With this parameter you deÞne the lowest attack velocity at which the layer will be enabled
(generate a sound). The values for this parameter and the next are expressed in the standard
musical dynamics markings, similar to the values available for the velocity maps. Attack
velocities that are below this threshold will not trigger notes. If you set this parameterÕs value
higher than the HiVel value, the layer will not play at all.
High Velocity (HiVel)
Similarly, this will set the highest attack velocity at which the layer will be enabled. Attack
velocities above this threshold will not trigger notes in this layer.
Using LoVel and HiVel, you can set up velocity switching between up to eight layers. If you
need even more, you can do it using the Enable and Enable Sense (S) parameters (page 6-21).
Pitch Bend Mode (PBMode)
This determines how Pitch bend control messages will affect the current layer. A value of All
bends all notes that are on when the Pitch bend message is generated. A value of Key bends
only those notes whose triggers are physically on when the Pitch bend message is generated
(notes held with the sustain pedal, for example, wonÕt bend). This is great for playing guitar
solos on top of chordsÑplay a chord, hold it with the Sustain pedal, then play your licks and
bend them all you want; the chord wonÕt bend with it. A value of Off disables Pitch bend for the
current layer.
Trigger (Trig)
Set Trig to Rvrs to have notes triggered on key-up. The initial velocities of notes triggered this
way are determined by the release velocities of the keys that trigger them. The default setting is
Norm.
Delay Control (DlyCtl)
Here you select, from the Control Source list, a control source that will delay the start of all notes
in the current layer. The length of the delay is determined by MinDly and MaxDly (described
below). YouÕll assign a continuous control like MWheel for the DlyCtl parameter when you
want to vary the delay time, and a switch control if you want the delay to either be its minimum
value (switch off), or its maximum (switch on). The delay control will affect only those notes
triggered after the delay control source is moved; the delay time is calculated at each note start,
based on the status of the delay control source at that time.
Minimum Delay (MinDly), Maximum Delay (MaxDly)
The length of the delay is determined by these two parameters. When the control source
assigned to DlyCtl is at its minimum, the delay will be equal to the value of MinDly. The delay
will be equal to the value of MaxDly when the control source is at its maximum. If DlyCtl is set
to OFF, you get the minimum delay. If itÕs set to ON, you get the maximum delay. This doesnÕt
change the noteÕs attack time, just the time interval between the Note On message and the start
of the attack. The delay is measured in seconds.
