Using Layer

With layer you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever you press a key.

Main tone + Layered tone

To layer two tones

❚NOTE

•To use the variation tone for the main tone and/or the layer tone, perform the required operation to turn on the variation tone(s) before starting the procedure below.

1. While holding down the tone button of the main tone, press the tone button for the layer tone.

•This causes the indicator lamp of the main tone button to light, and the lamp of the layer tone button to flash.

•Whether the normal tone or variation tone is selected for the main tone and layer tone depends on the normal tone/variation tone setting of the tone button you press. The indicator lamp above the VARIATION button is lit when the variation tone is selected for the main tone.

2.Now try playing something on the keyboard.

•Note should sound using both of the tones you selected.

3.To cancel layering, press any tone button.

❚NOTE

•If you change or turn off a digital effect while layering is turned on, the setting you make is saved to the main tone’s settings only.

•You cannot layer two tones that are assigned to the same tone button (for example: ELEC PIANO 1 + ELEC PIANO 2, or

HARPSICHORD + VIBRAPHONE).
