Performing with Two Sounds Layered

Together (Layer)

Two tones sounding together when you press a single key is referred to as a “layer

performance.”

For instance, it’s possible to play the Tones for both Piano and Strings simultaneously.

indicated in the lower part of the display, are now played together.

Here, the tone appearing in the upper part of the display is called the “right-hand

tone,” and the tone appearing in the lower part of the display is called the “layer

tone.”
