Layering Patches for a Thicker
Sound (Part Stack Function)
By pressing more than one Part button at the same time in
Performance mode, causing those buttons to light up, you can have
all the Patches assigned to those Parts play simultaneously. This
function is called the Part Stack function. Use this feature to
achieve fat, complex sounds simply and easily.
With the SH-32’s Part Stack function, merely stacking
(simultaneously pressing multiple Part buttons) allows you to
have all these Parts act as if they were all set to the same
MIDI channel. Regardless of the individual channel settings in
each of the Parts used in a stack, messages are received only via
the MIDI channel for the Part with the lowest Part number.
1. Confirm that the SH-32 is in Performance mode.
2. Assign the Patches you want to have played to their
respective Parts (p. 71).
3. Simultaneously press the buttons ([1]–[4/R]) for any Parts
you want to have played together.
You can stack up to a maximum of four Parts.
Stacked Parts need not be adjacent; for example, you can stack
Part 1 and Part 3.
You cannot set two Part stacks at the same time.
The status of Part Stack can be saved together with the
Performance settings, using the write procedure.
To exit Part Stack, press any of the stack’s Part buttons twice.
Buttons for stacked Parts light/blink at the same time. If at this
time only one of the buttons (one Part) is blinking, it indicates
that part is being edited with the panel controls. When another
button in the stack is pressed, that button blinks, and the
corresponding Part becomes the one being edited. You cannot
edit more than one Part at the same time.
If any part in the stack is included in the Parts used by
Arpeggiator (p. 80) or the Chord Memory function (p. 82), then
the relevant function acts upon all of the parts in the stack.
Editing a Performance
You can change these settings for the Patch or Rhythm Set assigned
to each Part even in Performance mode. You can save changes to the
settings to each Patch or Rhythm Set.
However, the parameters described in the following section,
“Settings Affecting the Overall Performance,” are set for the
Performance itself and can be saved to each Performance.
Settings Affecting the Overall
Performance
Here’s how to make the common settings applied to all of the Parts
in the Performance.
1. Select the Performance with the settings you want to
change.
2. You can set the parameters shown in the following figure.
Use the buttons indicated for each parameter to make the
settings. In addition, some parameters include values that
are set by pressing [VALUE /].
fig.05-02.e
For more detailed information on each of the parameters, see the
explanations on the reference pages for each parameter.
3. To save the settings, press [WRITE] and carry out the write
procedure (p. 73).
