Creating a Setups from a Program
11-5
Note that as soon as we hit the Layer Function button, the Save button illuminated. This
simply indicates that a change has been made. The Save button will be involved in the
final step of this process.
3. Let’s now change the Layer Program. Recall that the Layer Program determines the
Program for the Secondary Voice. At this point the display should read “Layer Program:
88 Real Vibes”. Use the Value buttons or Object Select buttons to choose a Program.
For our example, let’s choose Program 88 Solo Flute for the Layer Program.
The following figure illustrates our current Layer Setup:
4. Let’s now change the Layer Volume. Recall that the Layer Volume determines the relative
volumes of the two Voices: positive values increase the volume of the Secondary Voice
and decrease the volume of the Primary Voice. Negative values decrease the volume of
the Secondary Voice and increase the volume of the Primary Voice.
First, use the Chan / Param buttons to select the Layer Volume parameter. Then, use
the Value buttons to set the Layer Volume. For our example, since we want our vibes to
be slightly louder than our flute, let’s set this parameter to -20.
5. Let’s now change the Layer Transposition. Recall that the Layer Transposition
determines the transposition of the Secondary Voice relative to that of the Primary
Voice. It can be set to -24, -12, 0, 12, and 24.
First, use the Chan / Param buttons to select the Layer Transposition parameter. Then,
use the Value buttons to set the Layer Transposition. For our example, since we want our
flute to be one octave lower than normal, let’s set this parameter to -12.
6. Finally, let’s now save our newly-created Layer Setup. Recall that the Save button is
illuminated. To save our Layer Setup, press the Save button once. The Save button LED
will blink to indicate that a save operation is underway, and the User Bank LED will
also be lit. The default save location will be the next available location in the Setup User
Bank. If all 64 User Bank slots are taken, then the Setup is saved in the last slot in the
User Bank, overwriting what was previously in that slot. If the current Setup is a Setup
already in the User Bank, then the Setup is saved in its current Setup slot. At this point,
you can rename the new Layer Setup using the secondary alphanumeric functions of the
Group Select and Sound Select buttons.
When the Save button LED is blinking (which means that you pressed Save, and a save
operation is underway), pressing Save again will cause the system to save the Layer Setup
