12. LAYER DYNAMICS

In Dual mode sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between

the two layered sounds is not enough to create the desired sound character

if both sounds are very dynamic. Two equally dynamic sounds can be

difficult to control and play comfortably. The Layer Dynamics function

allows you to limit the overall dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to

create a perfect blend between both sounds in a layer. In addition to

reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting the dynamic sensitivity

of the layered sound also makes the layered sound easier to control in

relation to the main sound as you play. With this function, you can

comfortably play as dynamically as you like with the main sound while

maintaining control of the layered sound.

Press the REVERB button while holding down the TOUCH and the

TRANSPOSE buttons.

The display alternatively shows “dyn” (= Dynamics) and a number which

represents the level of dynamics.

Use the VALUE buttons to set the desired layer dynamics range.

You can select the level of dynamics from 1 to 10. A value of 1 produces

the greatest reduction in dynamics and a value of 10 produces no change

in the dynamics. The default value is 10.

13. DAMPER HOLD

This determines if the sound such as organ or strings should be held (on)

or gradually decayed (off) when the damper pedal is depressed.

Press the SPLIT button while holding down the TOUCH and the

TRANSPOSE buttons.

The display alternatively shows “dMP” (= Damper) and on/off status. The

default is off.

Use the VALUE buttons to toggle on and off.
