In this way, you could change the program assigned to each timbre if
desired. For now, however, press the \/ key to return the value 06
timbre 4's Program parameter to A61.

Next, try moving to page 2 of the display. (You can do this by pressing
2 or the PAGE+ key twice.) Layers, splits, and velocity switches are
all created using this page. There are also four parameters on this
page: Vel Window Top, Vel Window Bottom, Key Window Top, and
Key Window Bottom. These parameters allow you to specify the up-
per and lower ends of the velocity and keyboard ranges in which a
timbre will play.
lf you move the cursor to one of the Key Window parameters, you will
see a graphic in the upper left area of the display which shows you the
current Key Window settings for all eight of the timbres. This combi-
nation features a layered split: timbres 1 and 2 play on notes from B3
down, whereas timbres 3 through 6 play on notes from C4 up. (You
will recall that timbres 7 and 8 were turned off when you looked at
page 0.)
Now look at the Vel Window settings for timbres 1 and 2. Timbre 1 is
set to play at velocities 1 through 127, while timbre 2 plays at veloci-
ties 110 through 127. Thus, these timbres are combined using the
velocity layer method: if you hit key B3 or lower at a normal velocity,
you will hear “A36 Pick Bass”; but if you hit the same key harder, the
01/W pro will add “A46 SlapBass 1.”
