What’s a Combination?
Combinations,or“Combis”forshort,letyousplitand
layerupto16Programsatonce.
ACombiismadeupof16Timbres.EachTimbrehasa
Program,alongwithparametersforkeyandvelocity
zones,mixersettings,MIDIchannelandcontroller
filtering,andsoon.
AswithPrograms,each
Combihas12InsertEffects,2
MasterEffects,and2TotalEffects,forshapingand
transformingthesoundsoftheindividualTimbres.
Finally,Combiscanuse4KARMAmodulesatonce,
forcomplexandlayeredgeneratedeffects.
