The Layer Function

The Layer Function
Pressing the Layer soft button while in Program Mode will perform the Layer Function. The
Layer Function allows you to layer Programs and Multis such that more than one sound can
be produced by striking one key.
When you create a Layer in Program Mode, you are in fact creating a Multi with two active
Zones (see Multi Mode on page 7-1, for more information on Multis). As previously
described, Multis are configurations of four Zones, each of which may have its own
Program and controller assignments.
The Layer Function is convenient, as you do not need to use Multi Edit Mode to configure
Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. You can simply hit the Layer button, and the Artis
automatically creates a Multi with two active Zones. The Program you were using in Program
Mode is used as the Program for Zone 1. After this you can choose a "Layer Program" that
will be used as the Program for Zone 2.
Once you have saved your Layer as a Multi, you can continue to add Layer or Split Zones
in Multi Mode until you reach the maximum of four active Zones. The Artis will display a
message when you have reached the maximum of four active Zones (see Multi Mode on
page 7-1, for more information on Multis)
