To Change the Instrument for any Layer in the Preset:
6.
Use the Channel Select buttons to select another layer.
L2
INSTRUMENT
ROM:VROM
0101 wav: MiniTriangle
7. 8.
Find another instrument that sounds good when combined with the previous instrument selected. Repeat steps 6 and 7 if you want to add additional layers (although two layers will be enough for these experiments).
Now let�s play with the tuning.
Changing the Tuning of an Instrument
Tuning the selected layer of the preset changes the pitch of the key on the controller. If the numbers are �00,� it means that the instruments are tuned to concert pitch (A=440 Hz). The Coarse tuning value represents whole semitone intervals. The Fine tuning value shifts the pitch in 1/64 semitones (or 1.56 cents).
To Tune the Instrument of the Current Layer:
1.
Press the #3 Jump button twice to jump directly to Tuning page.

TUNING Coarse: +36 Fine: +6
2. 3.
Move the cursor to the Coarse �eld (using the cursor button). Set the value to +12 to shift the pitch up a whole octave. To shift the pitch in smaller units than a semitone, use the Fine �eld.
Try tuning one of the instruments to a perfect �fth above the other by setting the Coarse value to +7. Tuning an instrument far out of its normal range completely changes the character of the sound. For example, if you tune a bass guitar up 2 octaves, it's going to sound rather petite. On the other hand, if you tune it down 2 octaves, you can probably rattle plaster off the walls! Experiment with radical pitch shifting. You'll be surprised at the results.
