EXAMPLE #2 Simple DOUBLE (Layered) Keyboard Setup
Refer back to the simple Split we just experimented with. The same two sound
Patches selected to split the Keyboard can be used to layer it. This is
accomplished by re-setting the LIMITS numbers so that the two Zones overlap
across the entire length of the MATRIX-12's Keyboard:
Re-define the Zones
Select ZONE 1.
Set its LIMITSlo 36 TO 96.
Select ZONE 2.

EXAMPLE #3 3-Way SPLIT Keyboard
Refer back to our original Split. To split the MATRIX-12's Keyboard three ways, we
will need to define a third Zone and insert it into the Patch:
Select the New Patch
1. Select VOICES 1-6.
Press the PATCH EDIT buttons so that Voices 5 and 6 are selected.
Select a new 2-digit Patch number on the Keypad that you want to be
played from the middle of the Keyboard.
2. Select VOICES 7-12.
Press the PATCH EDIT buttons so that Voices 7 and 8 are selected.
Select the same 2-digit Patch number on the Keypad that you selected
in the last step. The new Zone will have Voices 5-8 playing this third
Patch.
Assign the Voices
3. EnterV. ASSIGN.
Assign VOICES 5-8 to ZONE 3.
Re-define the Zones
4. Select ZONE 1.
Set its LIMITSlo 36 TO 54.
Select ZONE 2.
SetitsZ./M/rSto79TO96.
Select ZONE 3.
Set its LIMITS to 55 TO 78.
We now have three separate 4-Voice areas of the Keyboard that play as:
ZONE 1 Voices 1-4 Lower Keyboard area (lowest C to F#).
ZONE 3 Voices 5-8 Middle Keyboard area (G to F#).
ZONE 2 Voices 9-12 Upper Keyboard area (G to highest C).
By re-assigning two Voices to each of the six Zones, selecting new Patches for
the Voices and re-defining the Zones' LIMITS, a six-way Split is possible:
