Layers, Splits, and Velocity
Switches
Within
a
Combination,
you
can
use
note
range
and
velocity
level
to
define
the
“zone”
where
a
specific
timbre
will
play.
The
Programs
assigned
to
each
Timbre
can
be
played
in
three
ways:
as
part
of
a
layer
,
a
split
,
or
a
velocity
switch
.
A
Combination
can
be
set
to
use
any
one
of
these
methods
or
to
use
two
or
more
of
these
methods
simultaneously.
Layer
Layers
cause
two
or
more
Programs
to
play
simultaneously
when
a
note
is
played.
Split
Splits
cause
different
Programs
to
respond
on
different
areas
of
the
keyboard.
Velocity Switch
Velocity
Switches
cause
different
Programs
to
respond
depending
on
the
velocity
(how
hard
you
play
the
notes).
On
the
microSTATION,
you
can
use
a
different
Program
for
each
of
up
to
sixteen
Timbres,
and
combine
two
or
more
of
the
above
methods
to
create
even
more
complex
setups.
As
an
additional
possibility,
you
can
set
the
slope
for
a
key
zone
or
velocity
zone
so
that
the
volume
diminishes
gradually.
This
lets
you
change
a
split
into
a
keyboard
crossfade,
or
a
velocity
switch
into
a
velocity
crossfade.

As you play from low notes to high

and the volume of B will fade in.
