Quickly adding a layer ?


Bigmark

Recommended Posts

How do you quickly add a layer or dual sound on a XW ?

Say for example you wanted to put a piano on top of a solo synth tone ?

Or piano with strings ( yes I know there is a tone for this it's just an example)

On my PX-350 it's just a matter of of holding the selected tone button down and Layer comes up on the screen and you then select a second tone to layer on top.

With the XW P-1 being a performance synth there must be a quick way of doing this on the fly ?

in perf mode... down arrow, EDIT, Enter Zone parameter, Zone On, down to Tone, use the PCM tone group selection to get a group and spin the dial, then exit out... to save it, press the Write btn BEFORE moving to a different perf.  After you do it a few times its not so bad, except if u have to rename the performance.

 

What I do is load a few layers in one perf, say have a piano on layer 1 with a strings layer on 2, pad on 3, and have 2 & 3 toggled off until i need them when playing, then it's easy to quickly go enable the zone.

Thanks for that Maarkr

It suddenly twigged what I was trying to achieve.

What I wanted was a layered zone in one part and single tone in zone 2.

I did this by assigning two tones and making the entire Key bed zone one and two.

Then I assigned zone 3 from middle F .

Getting to know this machine slowly but surely .

Thanks for your help it is much appreciated .
