Basic Operation4.
The following chapters describe some further basic functions which you can use
in addition to those already explained.
Using two sounds (layer mode)4.1
Instead of a single sound you can also play two sounds simultaneously on the
EG2280USB/EG8280USB. These sounds are layered and can be played together
over the entire keyboard.
In the TONE section, simultaneously press the buttons of the sounds to 1)
be layered.
The LEDs above the buttons light up to show that the associated sounds have
been selected.
In our example the sounds “GRAND 1” and “STRINGS” are layered.
To quit layer mode, press any button in the TONE section. This will also
select one single sound again.
Changing the sound character4.2
You can change the sound character by using a room and a modulation effect as
well as a color equalizer.
Color equalizer4.2.1
Use the Color equalizer to change the sound character and make it softer or
more brilliant.
Change the sound character with the COLOR control as follows:1)
Move the control to the left (• ) for a softer sound that is darker
in tone.
Move the control to the right (• ) for a more brilliant sound.
