A suggested approach for
editing
First,selectaProgramforeachTimbre,ontheP0:
Play–ProgramT01–08orT09–16page.(Notethatyou
don’thavetouseall16Timbres)
Next,createanydesiredkeyboardorvelocitysplits,
layers,orcrossfadesbetweenthedifferentTimbres.
YoucandothisontheP4:Zone/Delay–Keyboard
Zonespage.
Afterthis,adjustthevolumesoftheTimbres(backon
theProgramSelect/Mix
ertab),andsetupanyother
Timbreparametersasdesired.
Toaddfinishingtouchestothesound,setuptheInsert,
Master,andTotalEffectasdesired(ontheP8:Routing/
IFXandP9:MFX/TFX/LFOpages,respectively.)These

Example:
B and C/D are split. In the lower
keyboard range, A and B are
layered. In the higher keyboard
range, C and D are switched by
velocity and layered with A.

Keyboard X-Fade (keyboard
crossfade):
As you play from low notes to
high notes, the volume of A
will fade out, and the volume
of B will fade in.
