Pressing Two TONE SELECT buttons Simultaneously (Layer Mode)

*Keep [NUM LOCK] off when carrying out this operation.

You can switch to Layer mode without pressing the [LAYER] button simply by pressing two TONE SELECT buttons at the same time.

For example, if you want to layer a piano sound with strings, together press both [PIANO] and [STRINGS].

The [LAYER] indicator automatically lights up, and when you begin playing the keyboard, the piano and strings sounds are layered together. When this is done, the tone for the button that is pressed down first (indicator lit in red) is assigned to UPPER1, and the other tone (indicator lit in orange) is assigned to UPPER2. The UP1 and UP2 Part names are both highlighted in the screen, with both Parts being selected.

When two TONE SELECT buttons are selected, then pressing any TONE SELECT button selects the Tone for that button, and the RD-700 reverts to Single mode.

*The procedure described above does not switch the RD-700 to Layer mode when [LOWER] is selected in the PART SELECT buttons.
