What is the Layer Function?
Layer means that two sounds are played simultaneously. The Layer setting is stored as part of each
Patch. A Patch for which Layer is enabled will simultaneously play the sounds of both pad banks (A and B).
Layering sounds can open the door to creative expression.
By assigning dierent Instruments to pad banks A and B, and setting pad banks A and B to dierent
Velocity Curves, your playing dynamics can be used to cross-fade or switch between the two sounds.
Ways to use the Layer function
Velocity Mix: Playing dynamics will determine the mix of the two sounds.
Velocity Switch: Playing dynamics cause a switch between the two sounds.
Velocity Crossfade: Playing dynamics produce cross-fades between the two sounds.
