Section 1 — Controls and ArchitectureIf you select the piano, it will play over the whole keyboard, covering up the bass entirely:BassPianoNow you select the bass. This brings it to the top of the pile, and it covers up the piano, but onlyin the region where their ranges overlap (the bottom two octaves):BassPianoIf you play now, you will hear the bass in the bottom two octaves and the Piano over the rest ofthe keyboard. If you deselect the bass (by pressing its instrument button again) its yellow LEDgoes out and it returns the whole keyboard range to the piano.This same logic applies no matter how many instruments are loaded and selected. Whicheverone you select comes to the “top of the pile.”Note:The “Pile” described here only exists in Load Mode. In Edit and Command modes, only oneinstrument can be selected at a time.Stacking InstrumentsWith either the bass or the piano selected, double-click the other Instrument•Sequence Trackbutton. Now in the lower two octaves you hear the bass and the piano.Bass and Piano StackedInstruments that you “stack” by double-clicking their instrument buttons will play simultaneouslywith whatever other instruments are on the pile. Selecting another instrument (by pressing itsInstrument•Sequence Track button and not by double-clicking), will bring that instrument tothe top, covering up any stacked instruments as well as any selected ones. Up to all eightinstruments can be stacked at once.Additional Notes:• Whenever a selected instrument is covered up completely by the selection of another, itsyellow LED goes out — it is automatically deselected.• Up to all eight instruments can be selected and can play on some part of the keyboard at once,as long as none is covered up completely.• You can reset any instruments key range. This is done on the Edit/Instrument page.Keyboard Range 25
