Splits and Layers

The Split and Layer function can be used to Split or Layer the current Program or Multi.

Different keyboard regions can play different Programs, or multiple Programs can be played

from the same region. To Split or Layer a Multi, it must contain at least one Zone which is

unused (Off).
In Program or Multi Mode, press the SPLIT or LAYER soft button to view the Split or Layer

Page. You will then be able to configure up to three additional Programs to create a Split or

Layered Multi containing up to four Programs.
Press the SAVE button once to view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose

an ID number and name for the Split/Layer Multi you are saving. On the Multi Save Page,

press the SAVE button again to save the Split/Layer Multi. After saving the Split or Layer as a

Multi, additional Multi Controller and FX settings can be edited in Multi Edit Mode.

Modes

Program Mode

The PC4 always powers up in Program Mode, where single instrument sounds can be played

directly from the keyboard, or multitimbrally via MIDI.

Saving Programs

If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers (Knobs, Wheels

or Buttons), the SAVE button turns on to indicate that a change has been made to that

Program.
To save a copy of the Program with the changes you’ve made, press the SAVE button once to

view the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number and name for the

Program you are saving. On the Program Save Page, press the SAVE button again to save the

Program as a User Program.

Program Edit Mode

Program Edit Mode allows you to select parameters for the assignable knobs, sliders and

buttons, adjust the current Program’s Arpeggiator settings, and adjust many other Program

parameters.

Multi Mode

Multi Mode allows you to play Multis, which are arrangements of up to 16 Programs split

and/or layered in Zones across selected ranges of the keyboard.
