Tip: When editing Sampled Sounds, alternate presses of the Edit (Select Voice) button will toggle

between the last selected editing page or sub-page, and the Edit Context page.

LAYERS-IN-PATCH (Layer Enable/Disable)

Using the Patch Select Buttons

The two patch select buttons above and to the left of the wheels can be programmed to provide

instant access to up to four completely different sounds within each Sampled Sound. These

variations might be a different set of samples, or the same samples with different envelopes, or a

chorused version of the sound, or perhaps a different range of a wave sample.

What you are doing when you press either or both of the patch select buttons is selecting

different layers to play. A layer is a group of WaveSamples spread across the keyboard — each

Sampled Sound can have up to eight layers. For each of the four possible patches, any of these

eight layers can be made to play or to remain silent.

• The patch select buttons are “momentary” — an alternate patch will play only on notes played

while the button is held down unless you “lock in” a Patch.

• To “lock in” a particular patch so that it will play without having to hold any buttons: press

the Performance Options button, and use the data entry controls to select the particular patch.

• To return to the default patch (neither patch button down) after you have “locked in” one of

the other patches, press the Performance Options button again and set it to LIVE.

Here’s how a typical Sampled Sound might react when you press the patch select buttons:

Neither button pressed

Patch Select Status The Bottom Line of the Display shows:

• A number means that a given layer is enabled, and will play in that patch;

• A dash means that the layer is disabled for that patch and will not play.
