Layering
This function lets you layer and play two different
sounds at the same time. You can layer voices of two
different voices in the same category, and create a
composite voice of greater richness and texture.
Select the first voice in the usual way with the [Voices]
button, the [Next] or the [Previous] button.
Or, directly select a voice by holding the [Voices] button
down and pressing a key assigned to the desired voice.
Please refer to the voice list on page 13.
Then press the [Layer] button and use the [Next] or
the [Previous] button to select a voice to be layered
with the first one.
Alternatively, hold the [Layer] button down and press
a key to directly select a layer voice while the LED is
blinking.
The default layer voice is "14 Adagio Str".
Setting the Layer Volume
If you want, use the [Volume] button to adjust the
volume balance between two voices in layer mode.
This parameter determines the relative volumes of the
Primary and Secondary Sounds - it can be set to any
number between -9 and 9. By default, the Layer Volume
is set to -3, which results in the secondary sound being
a little softer than the primary sound.
When set to a positive number, the volume for the
Secondary Sound is increased while the volume for the
Primary Sound is decreased - doing the opposite has
the opposite effect on the relative volumes of the layers
Layer Transposition
This parameter determines the transposition of the
Secondary Sound relative to that of the Primary Sound
- it can be set to -24, -12, 0, 12, and 24.
In layer mode, press the [X-Pose] button, then press
the [Previous] or [Next] buttons to adjust the Layer
Transposition.
