Layering Sounds with the Track Buttons
In a preset, a maximum of seven sounds may be layered with the selected sound. You can have
up to eight sounds layered (stacked) on one key, or up to eight different sounds split across the
keyboard by using the Key Range function described later in this section.
To layer sounds in presets:
1. Press {SELECT_SEQ/PRESET}, then select one of the 8 tracks.
2. Double-click (press two times quickly) the {SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} button for the
track you wish to layer. Layered tracks are identified by a flashing LED. If a track is layered
(flashing LED), it can be unlayered by pressing its {SEQUENCER/PRESET_TRACK} button
again.
Using Effects With Performance Presets
All eight tracks in a sequence or preset share the same effects algorithm. Effects settings can be
edited from the Effects pages (press {EDIT_SEQ/PRESET}, then the upper {8} button), with the
same parameters available as in Edit Sound mode. The effects algorithm for the sequence, preset,
or song is inherited from the current sequencer effect at the time they were created. If this effect
is incompatible with other sounds in the preset, sequence, or song, there are several options:
• Set the effects routing to DRY for any of the sounds that are incompatible (see
{EDIT_TRACK} page 1, in Section 9 — Preset/Track Parameters).
• Change the preset/sequence effect algorithm to be something more suitable (see
Section 3 — Understanding Effects for details on editing the effect parameters).
