• Pressing the button for a single

non-active

layer turns that layer on

and deactivates all others.

• To activate more than one layer at once, press the desired layer

buttons simultaneously.

Despite being inactive, a layer may still produce sound although it
does not receive any keyboard input. A static arpeggio using KB
Hold, for instance, will keep running even if its layer is deactivated.

lOcK

When

LOCK

(Shift+layer enable) is turned on, the layer

buttons can

not be used for turning layers on or off, without using the

LAYER ENABLE

button.

In Lock mode, an inactive Layer can still be accessed and played,
while pressing down its button. As soon as the button is let go of
however, the Layer settings will return to locked configuration.

GROUP

layers can be grouped together – having them share desired settings
for various panel sections. This makes it possible to affect the settings
and sound of multiple layers from any of the grouped layers.

assigning a layer to the group is done by pressing

SHIFT

+layer

. a

lit yellow

GROUP

leD below the layer button indicates that it belongs to

the group.

Panel sections that can be shared within that group have a

GROUP

leD

below their On buttons, and these sections are made part of the group
by pressing

SHIFT

A layer needs to be assigned to the group in the Layer Control
section before a panel section can be set to Group.

SOlO

To monitor only the focused layer, press the

SOLO

button. The blinking

led for the focused layer at this point turns red, and volume levels for the
non-soloed layers are displayed with a single lit leD instead of the filled
leD bar graphs.

The Solo function is useful both as a performance tool and when creat-
ing and editing programs.

MUlTI eDIT

The

MULTI EDIT

function (Shift + Solo) can be used for editing parame-

ters simultaneosly on all four layers – regardless of whether they belong
to the Group or not. Multi edit is indicated by all four layer leDs blink-
ing, rather than just the one for the focused layer.

Note that the Shift button can be let up, once Multi Edit is active.

a double press on Multi edit activates the “sticky” mode, allowing edits
to be performed without keeping the Multi edit button pressed down.

exit the “sticky” Multi edit mode either by pressing Multi edit (Shift +
Solo) again, or by pressing Shift/exit.
