Tune Each Layer
Press the PAGE
Since the bass voice we have selected will sound too low if played only on
the lower two octaves of the keyboard, we'll shift its pitch up one octave. Use
the [CS1] slider to set the layer-A "NtShft" (Note Shift) parameter to "+12".
8.
Set the Note Limits for Each Layer
Press the PAGE
Although the note limit parameters can be adjusted via the appropriate
control sliders or other data entry controls, there is an easier way. Press [F2] to
select the upper note limit for the layer-A voice then, while holding the
[SHIFT] key, press the B2 key on the keyboard. Now press [F3] to select the
layer-B lower note limit and, while holding [SHIFT], press the C3 key on the
keyboard. Using the same technique, set the layer-C lower note limit to C3.
Although the current layer-A lower limit (C-2) as well as the
layer-B and layer-C upper limits (G8) extend beyond the key-
board, these settings won't adversely affect our performance
combination so we won't bother to change them.
9.
Play
Try playing our new performance combination on the keyboard. You should
hear only the BA Wood voice when playing on the lower two octaves (Cl
through B2), and a combination of the AP Grand and ST Power voices when
playing on the upper three octaves (C3 through C6).
The COMPARE function lets you compare the sound of the edited perform-
ance combination with that of the original performace combination. To engage
the COMPARE mode, press the [STORE] key while holding the [SHIFT] key.
The [PERFORMANCE] key indicator will flash and you'll hear the original
pre-edit performance combination when you play on the keyboard.
Press the [EXIT/NO] key to exit from the COMPARE mode and return to
the edited data.
