Chapter 2. Playing
■ Playing Fatter and Richer
Sounds by Combining Patches
(Layer)
If a Layer Performance is selected, you can play all Parts with
the Local parameter ON. Combining the Parts will produce,
thicker, fatter sounds.
fig.2-08.e
1. Make sure that PERFORM PLAY display is showing.
2. Make sure that the upper right of the display indicates
“LAYER p* ”(* is the part number). If the display
indicates “part=* ” (* is the part number), the
performance is a “single performance,” so hold down
[SHIFT] and press [SOLO] to change to a layer
performance.
* The setting here is linked to the Key Mode parameter
(PERFORM/COMMON/PERFORM COMMON).
3. Press the function button for the part that you wish to
play, to make the indicator light. When the [1-8/9-16]
indicator is dark, parts 1–8 can be selected, and when the
[1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, parts 9–16 can be selected.
The Local parameter of the selected part will be ON.
* This setting is linked with the Local parameter (PERFORM/
MIDI/MIDI).
4. Repeat step 3 to turn the Local parameter ON for each
part that you wish to play.
■ Splitting the Keyboard to Play
Separate Patches in Different
Sections (Split)
If you’ve selected a Layer Performance, you can split the
keyboard to play separate Patches with different sections of
the keyboard. As the note range that plays each Part can be
specified individually, you can split the keyboard into a
maximum of 16 sections.
For instance, you can play strings in the lower note section,
piano in the higher note section and both sounds in the
middle note section.

sounds are produced in the overlapping sections between the key
ranges specified for the Patch and Performance.

performance.
