Layer Area
„Layer“ is the most important item of Independence and the basic element that contains ALL
settings of an instrument inclusive any Module, Mapping and Performance settings!!!
As the Layers contain the sounds and instruments of Independence, this area finally offers the most
detailed setting options.
All settings on the left side of the Layer list always affect the selected Layer (marked in blue). If you
switch between the loaded Layers also the setting values will switch accordingly.

There are two different options to load a Layer:
For immediate loading use the Layer pull-down menu that shows all available Independence Layers.
The Layer you select gets loaded as new Layer into the Layer list.
The second option: Use the „+“ icon in the upper right corner to add a new empty Layer (the „-“
icon removes the selected Layer from the Layer list). Now click on the empty Layer you‘ve just
loaded and a second pull-down menu shows up. Beside the standard parameters like load, save,
delete, etc., this pull-down menu also contains the list of all available Independence Layers. The
Layer you select gets loaded into the Layer for which you opened the pull-down menu.
