LAYER 34 DCP-300 User Guide Using Split and Layer Modes Together When Split and Layer Modes are both enabled, Layer Mode will take priority, so the Data Control knob will be automatically assigned to control the volume level for the Layer Voice. If Layer Mode and Split Mode are both active, the Layer Voice will be added only to the Main Voice, not to the Split Voice. In other words, playing to the right of the Split Point will sound the Main and Layer Voices. Playing to the left of the Split Point will sound only the Split Voice. The LCD will show a combination of all the voice information, and the Data Control knob value (which is the Layer Voice volume by default). Main Voice Layer Voice <Main Voice>+<Layer Voice> <Split Voice> <Layer Voice Volume> For example, the image on the left shows a setup with Grand Piano as the Main Voice, Strings as the Layer Voice and Upright Bass as the Split Voice. Note that the following instructions regarding using Layer Mode and Split Mode together are actually the same as if you were using either of the two modes separately, with the exception of the method for changing the Split Voice volume (which is different when using the two modes together).

DCP-300 Touch Select Mode User Guide 41 The Touch Sensitivity setting, sometimes referred to as the velocity curve, lets you decide how the pressure with which you hit a key determines the volume at which the note plays. DCP-300 provides you with three different sensitivity options: < Normal is the default setting, and is designed to be useful for most players with an "average" touch (i. e. : people who play with an average amount of force). Low is a sensitivity setting that generates lower velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more quietly, even if you tend to strike the keys harder. High is a sensitivity setting that generates higher velocity values for the same force. This setting is useful for playing more loudly, even if you tend to strike the keys with less force. Fixed is essentially the "off" setting, effective when when the Touch button is not lit. The same velocity value is sent regardless of how hard or how softly you strike the keys. The default Fixed velocity value is 100 (on a scale of 0-127), and can be adjusted (see next page). < < < To select a Touch Sensitivity setting (Normal, Low, or High): 1 Function With the Touch button lit, press and hold the Touch button to enter Touch Select Mode. TOUCH 2 While continuing to hold down the Touch button, use the Data Control knob (or the Transpose or Tempo Up/Down buttons) to select the desired Touch setting.
