12. LAYER DYNAMICS

In Dual mode sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between the two layered sounds is not enough to create the desired sound character if both sounds are very dynamic. Two equally dynamic sounds can be difficult to control and play comfortably. The Layer Dynamics function allows you to limit the overall dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to create a perfect blend between both sounds in a layer. In addition to reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting the dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound also makes the layered sound easier to control in relation to the main sound as you play. With this function, you can comfortably play as dynamically as you like with the main sound while maintaining control of the layered sound.

Press the REVERB button while holding down the TOUCH and the

TRANSPOSE buttons.

The display alternatively shows “dyn” (= Dynamics) and a number which represents the level of dynamics.

Use the VALUE buttons to set the desired layer dynamics range.

You can select the level of dynamics from 1 to 10. A value of 1 produces the greatest reduction in dynamics and a value of 10 produces no change in the dynamics. The default value is 10.

13. DAMPER HOLD

This determines if the sound such as organ or strings should be held (on) or gradually decayed (off) when the damper pedal is depressed.

Press the SPLIT button while holding down the TOUCH and the

TRANSPOSE buttons.

The display alternatively shows “dMP” (= Damper) and on/off status. The default is off.

Use the VALUE buttons to toggle on and off.
