6. Let’s now change the Layer Transposition. Recall that the Layer Transposition
determines the transposition of the Secondary Voice relative to that of the Primary
Voice. It can be set to -24, -12, 0, 12, and 24.
First, use the Chan / Param buttons to select the Layer Transposition parameter.
Then, use the Alpha Wheel or Value buttons to set the Layer Transposition. (You can
also directly enter the new parameter value, using the Keypad category button and the
alphanumeric data entry buttons, see the Note on page 11-2.) For our example, since
we want our ute to be one octave lower than normal, let’s set this parameter to -12.
7. Finally, let’s now save our newly-created Layer Setup. To save our Layer Setup, press
the Save button once. The Save button’s LED begins to blink and the Keypad
button’s LED lights.
8. At this point, you can change the location and the name of the new Layer Setup, see
Saving User Setups on page 8-17.
9. Press the Save button to save the new setup. Pressing a Mode or Function button
while the Save button is blinking will cancel the save operation.
10. Your Layer Setup is now complete!
Creating a Layer Setup with Velocity-dependent
Zones
This tutorial will help you create a Setup with two active Zones such that one Zone will
be heard when the Setup is played softly and the other Zone will be heard when the Setup
is played loudly. As an example for this tutorial, let’s consider creating a Setup in which an
acoustic guitar is heard when the Setup is played softly, and an electric guitar is heard when
the Setup is played loudly.
1. First we need a Setup with two active Zones. The easiest way to create such a Setup
that will serve the purpose of this tutorial is by creating a two-Layer Setup (see Creating
a Layer Setup from a Program on page 11-4). For our example, let’s choose Program 97
Boutique Six Str for our Primary Voice and Program 104 Rockin’ Lead MW for
our Secondary Voice. Set the following Layer parameters like so:
2. Layer Program 104 Rockin’ Lead MW
Layer Volume 20
Layer Transposition 0
Remember to save your Setup!
Alternatively, we could edit a factory Setup. This, however, would take longer since
we would have to check all of the parameters for both active Zones to make sure that
they are equal before we start editing the parameters that differ between Zones.
