don’thavetouseall16Timbres!)
Next,createanydesiredkeyboardorvelocitysplits,
layers,orcrossfadesbetweenthedifferentTimbres.
Afterthis,adjustthevolumesoftheTimbres,andset
upanyotherTimbreparametersasdesired.
Toaddfinishingtouchestothesound,setupthe
Insert,
Master,andTotalEffectasdesired.Theseeffects
canbedifferentfromthoseassociatedwiththe
individualProgramsinProgrammode,ifdesired.
Inaddition,youcanmakearpeggiatorandcontroller
