The Layer dimension
So far we have covered basic swit ching dimensions that use MIDI controllers or Velo city to change the
samples that are played back. Anot her type of dimension is th e Layer. is allo ws you to layer several
samples on top of one another to b e played back at the same time.
By default, all of the splits in a lay er dimension sound simultan eously when a note is played. But you can
also control the volume of the i ndividual layers via MIDI, and even do a MIDI controlled c rossfade between
layers. In this example, we will cr eate a simple two-way layer and put a Mod Wheel crossfade on it.
