A wave can be made up of one or more layers (a
maximum of 128 layers). Each layer is assigned
with a sample. By setting the same sound range for
each layer, you can layer two or more samples.
Although you can layer as many samples as you like,
up to two samples sound simultaneously. In this
case, the samples with lowest layer numbers have
the priority.
When you edit a wave for the first time, the default
of layer number is set to one.
You can add a layer each time you press [F3]
(ADD). As shown in the diagram, you can confirm
the current layer number used for the wave and
select a sample for the current layer number.
You can select an unnecessary layer and delete that
layer by pressing [F4] (DEL).
The maximum number of layers are 1024 for
DRAM and FLS (Flash), respectively.
