19 Layering Sounds
Layering Sounds
For even more variety and richness of sound, you can layer two sounds across the keyboard -
that is, each key of the keyboard will play two different sounds at the same time. The result is
similar to having two different sections of an orchestra play the same notes.
To select the two sounds that you wish to layer, press and hold one Sound Select button and
then press another. The buttons for both sounds will illuminate. If a sound variation was
remembered for either of the sounds, it will be used in the layer. If the variation was enabled
for the first sound selected, the Variation button will be lit.
Layering is reset to OFF when the power to the RE-220 is turned on.
Adjusting The Volume Balance In A Layer
You can adjust the balance between the two sounds in a layer, while creating the layer, by
making the second sound softer. To do this, press and hold the button for the first sound, and
press the button for the second sound repeatedly; each press of the second button will lower
the volume of that sound by a small amount.
For example, if you layer Grand Piano and Strings (in that order), you can make the Strings
softer in relation to the Grand piano. If you wish the Strings to be louder in relation to the
Grand piano, then select the Strings first, and lower the volume of the Grand piano.
Some Examples of Layering Sounds
Two favorite sounds for use in layered combination are Piano and Pads. Other combinations
such as Piano and Strings, Guitar and Strings, and Voices and Pads provide rich layered
sounds.
1. Press and Hold the Grand Piano button, making sure Variation is OFF.
2. While holding the Grand Piano button, press the Pads button twice. This layers the
Grand Piano with Pads, and lowers the volume of the latter slightly.
3. Release both buttons and play some notes or chords to hear both sounds.
