Quick Layer
Overview
This dialog box is reached by pressing the Quick Layer
button on the PROGRAM > Home page.
A “layer” is when playing a single note causes two or more
sounds to be heard simultaneously. When invoked from
PROGRAM mode, the Quick Layer function lets you layer
two Programs together.
All of the Quick Layer controls are non-destructive and
reflected immediately when playing on the keyboard. You
can experiment with different settings, and fine-tune until
you find the perfect sound.
Once you’re happy with the results, you can save the layer as
a new Combination.
Limitations of Quick Layer/Split in
PROGRAM mode
The sound of the Layer or Split Program may change due to
effects usage. These factors are described in detail below.
Effects
As long as there are enough insert effect (IFX) slots, the
selected Program’s insert effects (IFX) are copied into the
new layer/split sound. If there are not enough available IFX
slots, the Program’s effects won’t be copied, and a caution
icon will appear (see “Caution messages,” below).
The Main Program will continue to use its previously
assigned Master and Total Effects (MFX and TFX). The
Send 1/2 levels of the Layer Program are preserved, but the
MFX and TFX themselves are not. This means that the layer
Program may not sound exactly the same as it did originally.
Caution messages
If there are insufficient free IFX slots to completely merge
the two sounds, an exclamation point icon will appear:
Touch the icon to show information about the specific
limitations encountered. Note that these limitations do not
prevent the creation of the split or layer sound; they just
mean that one or the other of the sounds may not be quite the
same when played in the new Combination.
• “There is not enough empty slot to copy Layer’s IFX.”
• “There is not enough empty slot to copy
Lower’s/Upper’s IFX.”
This message appears if the insert effect settings of the
split/layer Program are not copied because there are not
enough insert effect slots.
Global MIDI Channel
In PROGRAM mode, Quick Layer may not work as
expected when the Global MIDI Channel (GLOBAL 1–1a)
is set to 16, or set the same as the Drum Track MIDI Channel
(Channel 10 by default).
Keyboard and Zone Graphics
The graphic at the top of the window shows the keyboard
zones of the two sounds. The Layer Program’s note range is
shown in yellow, and the Main Program’s note range is
shown in light blue.
