you use the dual function.

range

.

5. LAYER DYNAMICS

In Dual mode sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between

the two layered sounds is not enough to create the desired sound character

if both sounds are very dynamic. Two equally dynamic sounds can be

difficult to control and play comfortably. The Layer Dynamics function

allows you to limit the overall dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to

create a perfect blend between both sounds in a layer. In addition to

reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting the dynamic sensitivity

of the layered sound also makes the layered sound easier to control in

relation to the main sound as you play. With this function, you can

comfortably play as dynamically as you like with the main sound while

maintaining control of the layered sound.
