Performance Modes
Playing two sounds at the same time
(Layer Mode)
You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard.
This is called the Layer Mode.
While holding down the button of a sound to be layered,
press another sound button. The two selected sound but-
tons light up.
The sounds are labeled layer 1 and layer 2 in the order
that their buttons are pressed, and the abbreviation for the
Sound name of layer 1 appears in the display.
For example, if the sound from the G.PIANO button is to
be layer 1 and the sound from the OTHERS button is to be
layer 2, hold down the G.PIANO button, and then press the
OTHERS button.
Previously, each Sound Button should have been used in
the Single Mode to select the correct sound.
For example, to layer the German Concert Piano and Clav
sounds, first select "
"
" for the OTHERS button. Then press both buttons
simultaneously to enter the Layer Mode.
When selecting Layer Mode, the total number of voices
that can play at the same time is reduced, depending
on the total number of oscillators used per voice by the
selected sounds. (refer to "About maximum polypho-
ny" on page 16.)
Sounds accessed by the same Sound Button cannot be
layered. For example, Classic Piano and Pop piano are
both accessed via the G.PIANO button and thus cannot
be layered.
Returning to the Single Mode
To return to Single Mode, press any single Sound Button.
Layer Mode settings
In Layer Mode, adjusting the volume balance between
sounds, shifting the octave for each sound, as well as en-
abling/disabling the damper pedal for each sound can
be performed from the Function Mode (starting with the
"Layer Mode: Volume balance" function on page 13).
Using split sounds (Split Mode)
When the SPLIT button is pressed and lights up, you can
play a bass sound in the lower section of the keyboard and
another sound in the higher section of the keyboard. This
is called the Split Mode.
In Split Mode, you can select any split point (key that splits
the keyboard) for the high notes and low notes.
These settings will not be saved when the G1/G1 Air is
turned off; however, the G1/G1 Air can be set to save
these settings (refer to "Save parameter settings" on
page 13).
When Split Mode is selected, the total number of notes
that can be played simultaneously is reduced, depend-
ing on the total number of oscillators used by the se-
lected sounds. (refer to "About maximum polyphony"
on page 16.)
