The Layer Function
The Layer Function is convenient, as it automatically configures a Multi to function as a
Layer by setting Zone key ranges and Programs.
When you create a Layer in a Multi, you are in fact activating a Zone within the current
Multi. If the current Multi already has its maximum of four active Zones and you press the
Layer Function soft button, then a message will appear on the display indicating that you
have reached the maximum of four active Zones. Once you have saved your Layer, you can
continue to add Layer or Split Zones to the Multi until you reach the maximum of four
active Zones.
The Layer Function is convenient, as you do not need to use Multi Edit Mode to configure
Zone key ranges, Programs, and volumes. You can simply press the Layer soft button, and
the Forte automatically activates another Zone in the Multi to layer with the previously
active Zones. After this you can choose a “Layer Program” that will be used as the Program
for newly activated Zone.
There are four parameters (described below) that determine the behavior of the Layer. Use
the cursor buttons to access each of the Layer parameters for each active Zone.
