Layered and Split Setups

Here are a few examples of layered and split setups that

you might like to use as a starting point when creating

your own. The procedure for creating each setup is

oulined briefly below. Refer to the EX owner’s manual

for full details about the functions and parameters used.

■ Layered Piano & Pad

This is a fairly common layered combination in which a

pad voice adds depth and richness to a basic piano

sound.

1: Go to the Performance Job mode and execute the Init

Perf function (manual page 173).

2: Engage the Performance Edit mode, press [F3] to go

to the “MLT” (Multi) display, and assign the “P1-001

Natural Grnd” piano voice to Part 1 (manual page

171).

3: Assign the “P2-002 Warmer” pad voice to Part 2.

4: Scroll down to the Part 2 “Layer Sw” parameter and

turn it “On”.

■ Split Strings & Solo

In this split setup a strings voice is played on the left-

hand section of the keyboard while a solo voice is

played on the right-hand section.

1: Go to the Performance Job mode and execute the Init

Perf function (manual page 173).

2: Engage the Performance Edit mode, press [F3] to go

to the “MLT” (Multi) display, and assign the “P1-097

Swell String” voice to Part 1 (manual page 171).

3: Assign the “P2-093 TriLead” solo voice to Part 2.

4: Scroll down to the Part 2 “Layer Sw” parameter and

turn it “On”.

5: Scroll down to the “Nt Lmt H” parameter and set the

Part 1 high note limit value to “B2”.

6: Set the Part 2 “Nt Lmt L” parameter to “C3”.

7: Scroll down to the “NoteShft” parameter and set the

Part 1 note shift value to “+12”.

With these setting all keys to the left of C3 should play

the string voice while all keys to the right of (and

including) C3 should play the solo voice.

Additional Performance Setup Tips

The EX Performance mode can be used to create multi-track setups for song playback, layered or split voices for

real-time performance, and it includes a comprehensive range of master keyboard functions. In this small leaflet we’ll

provide a few extra layering and sequencing tips and techniques that should help you to make full use of the EX

synthesizers’ advanced capabilities while avoiding timing problems which can occur if you attempt to push the

technology beyond its limits.
