Program Mode
The Split and Layer Functions
6-13
Program (Split or Layer Program)
e default Program will appear in Zone 2. Choose a dierent Program using the Category
and Program/Multi buttons, the Alpha Wheel, or the Previous-/Next+ buttons.
Low/Hi (Keyboard range)
e Low and Hi parameters set the keyboard boundaries for each Zone. Using Split sets the
boundary between Zone 1 and Zone 2 to E3. Using Layer sets the Zone 2 keyboard range to
C1 - G9.
e low and high keys for each Zone can be selected using Assign
(holding down the
Enter button and then striking the desired key on the keyboard). Keys can also be selected by
using the Alpha Wheel or the Previous-/Next+ buttons.
Vol (Zone Volume)
e Vol parameter determines the volumes of each Zone. By default, Vol is set to 127, which
results in each Zone having the same volume. To change volumes use the Alpha Wheel or
Previous-/Next+ buttons. A Zone volume can be set to any number between 0 and 127.
A value of “None” will use the last volume value used by the Zone’s MIDI channel (often set
by the expression pedal). A value of “None” can be entered by scrolling below 0, or by using
the keypad function of the Category buttons to type negative 1 by pressing the small +/-
button and then the 1 button, followed by the Enter button.
Pan (Zone Pan)
To change the panning of a Zone (left/right stereo placement), use the navigation buttons to
select the Pan parameter for one of the Zones. To set a Pan value, use the Alpha Wheel, the
Previous-/Next+ buttons, or use the keypad function of the Category buttons to type a pan
value (0-127) followed by the Enter button. A value of 0 is full left, 64 is center, and 127 is
full right. Other values will move the stereo placement in between these positions.
A value of “None” will use the last pan value used by the Zone’s MIDI channel. A value of
“None” can be entered by scrolling below 0, or by using the keypad function of the Category
buttons to type negative 1 by pressing the small +/- button and then the 1 button, followed
by the Enter button.
Saving a Split or Layer
After setting the Split/Layer parameters, the Split can be saved as a Multi so that it can easily
be recalled in Multi Mode. Press the Save button to the left of the display to begin the saving
process. See Save User Programs below for more details. Once you have saved your Split or
Layer as a Multi, you can continue to add Split or Layer Zones to the Multi until you reach
the maximum number of active Zones. You can also edit controller assignments and other
Multi parameters in Multi Edit Mode (see Chapter 11 for details).
