Parts

Up to four parts (numbered 1 through 4) can be used simultaneously during keyboard play. These parts can be used by the layer and split functions explained below.

Part 1: Main tone part

Part 2: Layered tone part

Part 3: Split tone part

Part 4: Layered and split tone part

Using Layer

Layer lets you assign two different tones (a main tone and a layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play whenever you press a key. For example, you could layer the GM FRENCH HORN tone on the GM BRASS tone to produce a rich and brassy sound.

Main Tone (GM BRASS) + Layered Tone (GM FRENCH HORN)

To layer tones

4Now try playing something on the keyboard.

• Both tones are played at the same time.

5Press the LAYER button again to unlayer the tones and return the keyboard to normal.

NOTE

Turning on layering switches the currently selected part

from Part 1 to Part 2, and displays the layered tone. At that time, you can use the [￿] and [￿] CURSOR buttons to switch between parts. Turning off layering returns to Part 1.

The main tone sounds over Channel 1, while the layered tone sounds over Channel 2. You can also use the Mixer to change the tone and volume settings for these channels.

Note that layering is not possible during record standby or recording in the Song Memory Mode, or while you are using the SMF Player Mode.
