Layer Mode
In addition to the many presets already available in the Andante CGP220, you can
create layered voices and add even more depth and breadth to its rich sounds.
Layering combines two of the Andante CGP220 voices enabling you to play both
voices together.
There are three parameters available in
Layer Mode:
Voice, Volume, and
Transposition. Changing the value of a parameter determines the characteristics of
the layer.
Depending on the selected parameter some buttons operate differently. The following is a description of the
Layer
Mode
navigation buttons.
