[. . . ] You will be prompted before the region is deleted. F2 copies the region in a storage buffer. You can then use F3 to insert that region somewhere else. F3 replaces the selected region with the region stored in the storage buffer with F2 . 7-1 The Layer Editor Most of the sound-shaping editing takes place at the layer level. Up to seven sound layers may be defined for each region of a program. Using the Layer Editor Selecting and Editing Layers Select Layer Editing by pressing EDIT UNDO. The layers selected to be edited are those of the center region unless you specified another region previously using the Region Editor. When you enter the layer editor, the display will show the program number, region (LEFT, CNTR, or RGHT), layer number (flashing) and total number of layers in the region. For instance, the display for the center region of Program #1 would look like: P1 . CNTR LYR 1/1 If there are currently two or more layers defined, select a layer to work on by using INCR, DECR, NEXT, or PREV, or select it by number using the numeric button-pad and press ENTR. If there is only one layer defined, that layer is the default layer to edit, unless INCR is pressed, creating a new layer (see Creating and Deleting Layers). Press ENTR to start choosing among the parameters for the selected layer. The display will show on the left side: · the region - L for LEFT - C for CENTER - R for RIGHT the Layer number · The parameters shown in Table 8-1 can be edited. One will appear in the display; the others can be selected using NEXT and PREV. Table 8-1 Layer Editor Parameters Display Reads . VN . TUNE . TRANSPOSE .

See the sections on each parameter later in this chapter. F1, F2, and F3 in the Layer Editor The operation of F1, F2, and F3 changes depending on whether you have pressed ENTR to begin editing the layer parameters for a specific layer (step 3 above). Once you confirm the selection and begin editing the parameters (step 3 above), these buttons have different meanings. F1 and F2 allow you to change the layer selection without re-entering the editor. F3 mutes the other layers in the region, allowing you to hear only the layer you are editing. Creating and Deleting Layers Creating Layers 1. To create a new layer, select the uppermost layer currently defined using any of the methods above and press INCR. [. . . ] Press ENTR, and the display will show: 1. the number of the velocity map being edited the velocity map parameter being edited the current value for that velocity map parameter For instance, if the VIN HIGH parameter for velocity map 5 is currently being edited, the display will show: . VM5 VIN HIGH current-value The 6 editable parameters for each velocity map are: VIN LOW VIN HIGH VOUT MIN VOUT LOW VOUT HIGH VOUT MAX Their relationships are shown graphically in Figure 13-2. 13-3 Vout Max Vout High Vout Low Vout Min 0 Vin Low Vin High 127 Figure 13-2.
