Using Layer
With layer you can assign two different tones (a main tone
and a layered tone) to the keyboard, both of which play
whenever you press a key.
To layer two tones
NOTE
To use the variation tone for the main tone and/or the layer
tone, perform the required operation to turn on the variation
tone(s) before starting the procedure below.
1.
While holding down the tone button of the main
tone, press the tone button for the layer tone.
This causes the indicator lamp of the main tone button
to light, and the lamp of the layer tone button to flash.
Whether the normal tone or variation tone is selected
for the main tone and layer tone depends on the
normal tone/variation tone setting of the tone button
you press. The indicator lamp above the VARIATION
button is lit when the variation tone is selected for
the main tone.
2.
Now try playing something on the keyboard.
Note should sound using both of the tones you
selected.
3.
To cancel layering, press any tone button.
NOTE
If you change or turn off a digital effect while layering is turned
on, the setting you make is saved to the main tones settings
only.
You cannot layer two tones that are assigned to the same tone
button (for example: ELEC PIANO 1 + ELEC PIANO 2, or
HARPSICHORD + VIBRAPHONE).
Main tone + Layered tone

depressed until you reach step 4 of this
procedure.
2.
Press the GRAND PIANO 1 button.
This causes the indicator lamp above the button to
flash.
3.
Use one of the procedures below to set the main
tone volume to a value in the range of 40 to 127.
To scroll the volume setting value: While holding
down the CONTROL button, use the + (increase) and
(decrease) keys to scroll the volume setting value.
Holding down either key changes the setting at high
speed.
Pressing + and at the same time automatically selects
a volume setting value of 127.
To input the volume setting value: While holding
down the CONTROL button, use the number input
keys to input a two-digit or three-digit volume setting
value in the range of 40 to 127. You can input a two
digit or a three-digit value. The level you input is
applied to the volume setting value when you release
the CONTROL button. The volume setting does not
change if you input a one-digit value or a value that
is outside of the allowable range.
