3. Now we'll layer that with another sound—say a pad synthesizer. To do this, we press the SNTH 2
button and load a different sound. Select "Analog Pad 2" from the "TAG:Synth Pads" category. Press
the knob to load this preset. Now press the "PLAY" button to hear both sounds combined together.
4. What we've done is layered the Electric Piano 1 and the Analog Pad 2 sounds together, which
creates an entirely new sound. You can adjust the volume of either sound by pressing MIX and
either SNTH 1 or SNTH 2 to adjust the Electric Piano 1 or Analog Pad 2 volume level respectively.
5. Pressing either SNTH 1 or SNTH 2 solos just that one sound. If you want to SAVE this
combination of sounds, simply press and hold the EDIT button, and you can save this preset to the
USER TAg.
Splitting Two Sounds Across a Keyboard
Once you have both a SYN1 and SYN2 sound selected, it is easy to turn those two sounds into a
"SPLIT" where one sound plays in one-half the keyboard, and the other sound plays in the other
half.
1. While in PLAY mode, press the SYN1 button, and while holding that button, press the SYN2
button. You'll see the LCD display change to the following:
Voila! Now we have Electric Piano 1 preset (SYN1) playing on the left-hand side of the keyboard,
and Analog Pad 2 (SYN2) playing on the right side of the keyboard, and the transition point
between the two sounds is the default C3.
NOTE: In Split mode, SNTH 1 is always on the left side of the keyboard and SNTH 2 is always on
the right side of the keyboard.
2. To move the Split Point, simply rotate the bottom encoder until it displays the note name of
where you want the split to be. C3 is middle C, C2 an octave below that, and C4 is an octave
above.
3. If you want to SAVE this combination of sounds, simply press and hold the EDIT button to save
this preset to the USER TAg. Turn either encoder to select a preset location to write over, or save to
a new preset location using the default name provided by MuseBox.
