Parameter Explanation
Layer Type
Sets how the sub-instrument sounds.
MIX
Playing
dynamics
Volume The main instrument (A) and
sub-instrument (B) always
sound together as a layer.
FADE1
Playing
dynamics
Volume
The sub-instrument (B) is
added as a layer only if the
strike is stronger than “Fade
Point.”
FADE2
Playing
dynamics
Volume
If the strike is stronger
than “Fade Point,” the sub-
instrument (B) is added as
a layer according to the
strength of that strike.
The main instrument (A) and
sub-instrument (B) are the
same volume at the Fade
End point.
Layer Type
XFADE
Playing
dynamics
Volume
This basically works the
same as FADE2, but the
main instrument (A) sounds
quieter when you strike the
pad stronger than the Fade
Point up to Fade End.
SWITCH
Playing
dynamics
Volume
Strikes weaker than “Fade
Point” sound the main
instrument (A), and strikes
stronger than “Fade Point”
switch to sound the sub-
instrument (B).
Fade Point (*1)
Specifies the force of the strike at which the sub-
instrument begins to be sounded.
If this is “1,” the sub-instrument is sounded by a
strike of any force.
If this is “127” (“127+32” for a pad that supports
digital connection), the sub-instrument is
sounded only by the strongest strike.
* This is not available if Layer Type is “MIX.”
Fade End (*1)
Sets the fade or crossfade range when the Layer
Type is “FADE2” or “XFADE.”
Sub Volume -INF–+6.0dB
Adjusts the sub-instrument
volume.
(*1) The Fade Point cannot be set higher than the Fade End.
MEMO
The indication for the Layer Type changes for pads connected to a
TRIGGER IN jack and for pads that are connected digitally.
