2.

Bypassing FX-A or FX-B in any program or zone bypasses the corresponding effect block in all
programs or zones. When you no longer need to bypass effects, go to the FXA Bypass or FXB
Bypass parameter in any program or zone, and set its value to Off. This removes the bypass in all
programs and zones.
Layering and Splitting
In Program mode, you can play one program at a time, since Program mode is based on the
internal setup, which contains a single zone. If you wanted to create a multi-zone setup with
different programs in each zone, you could go to Setup mode, then start programming (editing):
assigning MIDI channels and programs to zones, assigning physical controllers, and so on. This
gives you a great deal of control and flexibility, but it takes a bit of time.
If you're on stage and you suddenly decide that your solo needs two Programs instead of one,
you don't want to take the time to edit a setup; you just want to add another Program as quickly
as possible. Fortunately, the PC1 makes it easy to do this kind of thing without doing any actual
editing.
Layering is playing two programs on the same part of the keyboard. Splitting is playing two
programs on different parts of the keyboard. Using the PC1's AutoSplit feature, you can create a
layer or a split by pressing a single button. With a few more button presses, you can change the
programs in the layers or splits, and create combinations of layers and splits. We'll show you
how to do it, then we'll explain what's going on.
Using AutoSplit for Quick Layers and Splits
We're going to start with piano, layer it with strings, add a split with bass, then layer the bass
with drums--and we'll do it with six button presses. If you're not already in Programs mode and
playing Program 000 Stereo Grand, press the Program button, then the Primary button (in the
Mode region), then the Category Select Button Piano 1(Red Light) and the Program select A.
1.
Press Layer (in the Zone Select region--also labeled Zone 2).
2.
Press the Category Select button Strings (Green light) then press the Program select
button A. Now you have piano and strings layered across the entire keyboard.
3.
Press Split (Zone 3).
4.
Press the Category Select button Bass (Green light) then press the Program select button
A. Now you have a plucked electric bass from the bottom of the keyboard up to G# 3,
and layered piano and strings from A 3 up.
5.
Press Split Layer (Zone 4).
6.
Press the Category Select button Clavier (Red light) then press the Program select button
A. That's it: bass layered with clavier in the lower part of the keyboard, and piano
layered with strings in the upper part.
