Selecting and Playing a Tone

Layering Two Tones

Use the following procedure to layer two tones, so they sound at the same time. The tone you specify first is called the “main tone”, while the tone you specify second is called the “layered tone”.

NOTE

•To use a Various tone or GM tone as the main tone, you must first assign it to the VARIOUS/GM TONES button (page E-9).

•You can use a Various tone or GM tone assigned to the VARIOUS/GM TONES button as either the main tone or the layered tone. You cannot use Various/GM tones at the same time for both the main tone and layered tone.

1. While holding down the TONE button of the tone that corresponds to the main tone, press the button that corresponds to the layered tone.

Example: While holding down the GRAND PIANO 2 button, press the STRINGS button.

•If you press the VARIOUS/GM TONES button to assign its tone as the layered (second) tone, the number of the currently assigned tone will appear on the display when you hold down the VARIOUS/GM TONES button.

•While holding down the VARIOUS/GM TONES button, you can use the /NO and /YES buttons to scroll through tone numbers and change the tone assignment.

2. To unlayer the keyboard, press any one of the TONE buttons.

NOTE

•You can adjust the balance between the main tone and layered tone. See “Other Settings” on page E-25 for more information.
