Sound variation number 1 and 3 are layered.

Another feature of the CE200 piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered with strings, electric piano with choir sound, and so on.

To layer two sounds, select the first sound and then, while holding down that SOUND SELECT button, select the second sound by pressing another SOUND SELECT button. The LED indicators for each will be turned on to indicate the two sounds you have chosen. The display briefly shows the combination of the selected sound variation numbers.

ABOUT POLYPHONY
