What’s a Combination?
Combinations, or “Combis” for short, let you split
and layer up to 8 Programs at once.
A Combi is made up of 8 Timbres. Each Timbre
has a Program, along with parameters for key and
velocity zones, mixer settings, MIDI channel and
controller filtering, and so on.
As with Programs, each Combi has 1 Insert Effect,
2 Master Effects, and a Master EQ, for shaping and
transforming the sounds of the individual Tim-
bres. Finally, Combis can use 2 Arpeggio patterns
modules at once.
