The Layer Function

The Layer Function
Pressing the Layer soft button while in Multi Mode performs 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 a Multi, you are in fact activating a Zone within the current
Multi. If the current Multi already has its maximum of four active Zones and you press the
Layer Function soft button, then a message will appear on the display indicating that you
have reached the maximum of four active Zones. Once you have saved your Layer, you can
continue to add Layer or Split Zones to the Multi until you reach the maximum of four
active Zones.
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 press the Layer soft button, and
the Artis automatically activates another Zone in the Multi to layer with the previously active
Zones. After this you can choose a "Layer Program" that will be used as the Program for
newly activated Zone.
There are three parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Layer.
Press one of the three soft buttons on the bottom left of the display to access each of the
Layer parameters.

Prog (Layer Program)

Press the PROG soft button to change the Prog (Layer Program) parameter. The Prog
parameter determines the "Layer Program" that will be layered on top of the previously
active Zones.
