Controls Splitting the Keyboard and Layering Different Sounds together

( Inactive Buttons appear in White)

Programs on the

SQ-80 can be Layered (so that two Programs play at once over the whole keyboard),

Split (so that each half of the keyboard plays a different Program), and Split/Layered (so that the Split

Program is layered with yet another Program).

It is important to note that the parameters on this Page are all

part of the Program — that is, any Split

and/or Layer configurations you set up here must be Saved as part of a new Program in order to be

retained. For example, if you start with a Piano Program, and then Layer that with a String Program, you

can now save the new Layered combination in a new Location — the original String_ and Piano Sounds

will remain intact in their original locations.

Also bear in mind that wherever two Programs are Layered, the

SQ-80 becomes a four-voice Synthesizer

—

it will start "stealing" voices after four have been played, rather than the usual eight. The number o

voices is only reduced where a Layer is in effect, however. Splits cause no loss of voices.

Use this Page to:

1) Activate the Layer function;

2) Choose the

Layer Program;

Split the Keyboard (Upper or Lower) between two different Programs;

4) Choose the Split Program;

5) Choose the

Split Key:

6) Layer a second Sound with the Split Program

(Split/Layer mode); and

7) Choose the

Split/Layer Program.
