Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer mode)
You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard. This is called the
Layer mode.
Simultaneously press the two sound buons for the sounds to be played at the
same time. The LEDs for the two pressed sound buons will light up.
The lemost or uppermost selected sound buon is layer 1, and the other (right-
most or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see the diagram at the right).
For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected, E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and
ORGAN1 is layer 2.
In order to use sounds in different banks, first select the banks in the Single
mode for the sound buons to be pressed.
For example, to play by layering the grand piano and jazz organ 2 sounds, select
bank 1 (grand piano) for the PIANO1 buon and bank 2 (jazz organ 2) for the
ORGAN1 buon, and then press both buons simultaneously.
When selecting Layer mode, the total number of voices that can play at the
same time is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used by
the selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 22.)
Sounds in different banks for the same sound button (grand piano and
bright piano for the PIANO1 buon) cannot be selected.
Returning to the Single mode
To return to Single mode, just press a single sound selection buon.
Layer mode settings
In Layer mode, the volume balance between sounds can be adjusted, the oc-
tave for each sound can be shied, and the damper pedal can be enabled or
disabled for each sound. (refer to “Function mode” on page 17.)
Performing with another person (Partner mode)
Two people can play in the same range with the keyboard divided in half be-
tween them. This is called the Partner mode.
