If other Parts’ MIDI receive channels (RcvCh) are set to the same ones assigned to two Parts, those Parts will also sound when you play on the keyboard. This might be troublesome if you simply need two layered Parts. To mute unnecessary Parts while you play on the keyboard, set “RcvCh” for those Parts to “off.” You can only play Voices from layered Parts.

8As in the same manner in steps 5 to 7, set up for the Upper Part. Select “PartPL” for the Lower Part, go to the Mix Voice (MIX Vce) page using the [PAGE] knob, and select another Voice (Plug-in Voice) for the Lower Part. Also, go to the Layer Mode (LYR Mode) page to set the Layer Switch (Layer) to “off” and the MIDI Receiving Channel (RcvCh) to “2.”

You can set additional Part settings in Performance Edit Mode. If you have a trouble possibly associated with these settings, such as no sound from a specific Part, confirm any Part settings related to volume, etc. Refer to page 115 for more information about Part settings.

9Before exiting Performance Edit Mode, store above settings in a Performance. For storing a Performance, refer to page 124.

In Performance Play Mode, recall the Performance you have just saved. Simply pressing the [MASTER KEYBOARD] key activates or deactivates the Layer configuration you made above.

Besides the Layer/Zone configuration in Master Keyboard Modes, you can use the Layer Switch (Layer) for each Part to make a Layer configuration that consists of up to four Parts (Page 117).

About Note Limit (Key Range)

Note Limit setups are provided for setting Master Keyboard Mode, Part , and Voice. They are associated to one another as follows.

Element 4

While using in Master Keyboard Mode, you can control the internal tone generator (or an external MIDI device) according to “Note Limit” in the MKB Note screen. If you limit a Zone’s key range to two octaves, it is as if you connect an external two-octaves keyboard controller to play with the tone generator. Meanwhile, the key range (playable range) of an entire Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the LYR Limit screen (page 117) for a Part assigned with that Voice. Such a playable range of each Element of a Voice is determined by “Note Limit” in the OSC Limit screen (page 75) available in Voice Edit Mode.

About the Control Sliders

While Master Keyboard Mode is turned on, the Control Sliders [1] to [4] on the front panel are respectively linked to Zones 1 to 4. When these Sliders, for instance, are set to control volumes for their corresponding Zones, you can use them like a mixer’s channel faders to balance volumes of Zones. These Sliders can separately work so that you can assign a different control function to each of them (volume for Zone 1, pan for Zone 2, etc.). You can make such assignments in the MKB Assign screen (Page 122) in Performance Edit Mode.
