Performance Modes
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.
Whileholdingdownthebuonofasoundtobelayered,
pressanothersoundbuon.Thetwoselectedsoundbut-
tons light up.
The sounds are labeled layer 1 and layer 2 in the order that
theirbuonsarepressed.
Forexample,ifthesoundfromtheG.PIANObuonisto
belayer1andthesoundfromtheOTHERSbuonistobe
layer2,holddowntheG.PIANObuon,andthenpressthe
OTHERSbuon.
Previously,eachSoundBuonshouldhavebeenusedin
the Single Mode to select the correct sound.
For example, to layer the German Concert Piano and Clav
sounds,rstselect“
”fortheG.PIANObuonand
“
”fortheOTHERSbuon.Thenpressbothbuons
simultaneously to enter the Layer Mode.
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 per voice by the
selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polypho-
ny” on page 16.)
 SoundsaccessedbythesameSoundBuoncannotbe
layered. For example, Classic Piano and Pop piano are
bothaccessedviatheG.PIANObuonandthuscannot
be layered.
Returning to the Single Mode
ToreturntoSingleMode,pressanysingleSoundBuon.
Layer Mode settings
In Layer Mode, adjusting the volume balance between
sounds, shifting the octave for each sound, as well as en-
abling/disabling the damper pedal for each sound can
be performed from the Function Mode (starting with the
“Layer Mode: Volume balance” function on page 13).
Using split sounds (Split Mode)
WhentheSPLITbuonispressedandlightsup,youcan
play a bass sound in the lower section of the keyboard and
another sound in the higher section of the keyboard. This
is called the Split Mode.
In Split Mode, you can select any split point (key that splits
the keyboard) for the high notes and low notes.
 TheseseingswillnotbesavedwhentheG1/G1Airis
turnedo;however,theG1/G1Aircanbesettosave
these seings (refer to “Save parameter seings” on
page 13).
When Split Mode is selected, the total number of notes
that can be played simultaneously is reduced, depend-
ing on the total number of oscillators used by the se-
lected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony”
on page 16.)
If the performance is added to the same part, all
original data after the start of recording is deleted.
For example, if a new recording is added to mea-
sures 2 to 4 of a song with measures 1 to 8, the re-
cording in measures 5 to 8 will be deleted.
3. Press the PART buon corresponding to the part to be
recorded; the buon will blink.

<Recording Tips>
• When a new part or performance is added to an existing

• The Tempo cannot be changed while recording.
•
The Time Signature of a recorded Song cannot be changed.
However, when recording an addition to an existing song,
measureswithadierenttimesignaturecanbeadded.
Saving User Songs
When recording is stopped, the song is automatically saved.
The name of the User Song will be the number chosen be-

A maximum of 99 User Songs can be saved. In addi-
tion, a maximum of 999 measures or 45,000 notes can
be saved in each song.
Playing Back a Recorded Performance
