Layering Multiple Sounds (Layer) - Korg PS60 Easy Start Manual

Layering multiple sounds (Layer)

You can play multiple sounds simultaneously. This type of setting is called a
"layer."
1
Press and hold down the ON button of one of the timbres you want to layer, and then press the other
ON buttons(s) to make their indicators light. The sounds will be recalled when you take your finger off
all of the buttons.
The master effect and EQ settings of the program whose timbre you turned on first will be used.
For example, suppose you hold down A.PIANO, then press STRINGS, BRASS, and then release your
hand, the lower line of the display shows the timbre on/off status as "A, S, B," indicating that these tim-
bres are on. When you play the keyboard, these three sounds will be layered. This lets you play richer
sounds than would be possible using a single program. The master effect and EQ settings of the
A.PIANO program will be used.
Tip: When using layer settings, you can switch a timbre on/off by holding down the EXIT button and
pressing the timbre's ON button.

Use each timbre's variation  buttons to select the program for each timbre.
The master effect and EQ settings of the program whose timbre you turned on first in step 1 will be
used; these settings will not change even if you switch variations. The settings will be preserved until
you go back to Single mode, but you are free to adjust the master effect and EQ by using the buttons and
knobs in the right side of the front panel (p. 15).
The insert effect specified by each program will be loaded each time you switch variations.
Use the convenient Audition function when selecting sounds
Each of the PS60's programs has an associated riff
(phrase) that's appropriate for the sound. You can make
this riff play automatically, so that it will be easy to hear
the character of each sound as you make your selection.
Make sure that Single timbre settings are selected. The
Audition function is available only if the Layer and Split
settings are off.
1
In the SPLIT SETTING section, hold down the SUB
OFF/RECALL button and press the LOWER button.
(The indicators of both buttons will light.)
The riff assigned to the program will play.
