Layer function (play two sounds together)
This allows you to combine two programs to be played together when you play a single note.
This is called the Layer function.

The [LAYER] switch indicator will light, and the “Layer” page will appear.
2 Select each sound
To select the “Upp1” program, press cell A. To select the “Upp2” program, press cell B.
Then select the desired sound. ☞p.24 “2. Selecting sounds”
If the Layer function is turned on, the total polyphony will be 32 notes. If a program
such as “Grand piano 1” is selected, the polyphony will be 21 notes. ☞p.73 “Trouble-
shooting”
3 Adjust the volume balance of the two sounds
Use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to adjust the value of the “Vol” (volume) cell.
The volume can be adjusted from 0 (minimum) – 127 (maximum).
4 Specify the octave of each sound
The pitch played by the keyboard can be adjusted for each program in one-octave
steps.
Use the “Octave” cell “▲” or “▼” to set the value.
The octave can be adjusted over a range of –2, –1, 0, +1, +2.
