The Layer Editor
Most of the sound-shaping editing takes place at the layer level. Up to seven sound layers may be defined for each region of
a program.
Using the Layer Editor
Selecting and Editing Layers
Select Layer Editing by pressing EDIT UNDO. The layers selected to be edited are those of the center region unless you
specified another region previously using the Region Editor.
When you enter the layer editor, the display will show the program number, region (LEFT, CNTR, or RGHT), layer number
(flashing) and total number of layers in the region. For instance, the display for the center region of Program #1 would look
like:
P1 .CNTR LYR 1/1
If there are currently two or more layers defined, select a layer to work on by using INCR, DECR, NEXT, or PREV, or select
it by number using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR. If there is only one layer defined, that layer is the default layer
to edit, unless INCR is pressed, creating a new layer (see Creating and Deleting Layers).
Press ENTR to start choosing among the parameters for the selected layer. The display will show on the left side:
•
the region
−
L for LEFT
−
C for CENTER
−
R for RIGHT
•
the Layer number
The parameters shown in Table 8-1 can be edited. One will appear in the display; the others can be selected using NEXT and
PREV.
