Layer: using two Tones simultaneously

The word Layer is used to describe a situation where every note you play triggers two Tones. The most pop- ular Tone combination for layers is piano and strings, but you are free to use any Tone combination you like.

Note: Layers are only available for the Upper part.

Here’s an example of how to layer two Tones (let’s use piano and strings here).

1.Press the TONE [PIANO] button and select the desired piano Tone.

2.Press <Layer> on the Basic screen.

Upper Tone

Layer Tone

3.Press the TONE [STRINGS] button.

The indicator of the TONE button you press lights up.

Play a few notes on the keyboard to confirm that the

KR-11 is producing both a piano and a strings sound.

Let’s call the two Tones “Upper Tone” and “Layer

Tone”.

You can now select another Tone from the Strings group. If, after choosing a Layer Tone, you decide to use another Upper Tone, press <Layer> again (to leave Layer mode) and select the desired Tone (see above).

Note: Another way to select the Layer mode is to press two

TONE buttons simultaneously.
