When the Save button LED is blinking (which means that you pressed Save, and a save

operation is underway), pressing Save again will cause the system to save the Setup to

the indicated Group and Sound in the User Bank. If you want to save it to a different

location in the User Bank, select the location via the Group Select and Sound Select

buttons (or using the Value buttons) before pressing Save again.

Pressing any other button while the Save button is blinking will cancel the save

operation.

Your Split Setup is now complete!

Creating a Layer Setup from a Program

As an example for this tutorial, let’s consider creating a Layer Setup with a layer of vibes

and a layer of ute. Let’s have the vibes be slightly louder than the ute, and have the ute

lowered by an octave. For our example, we’ll refer to the vibes as the Primary Voice and the

ute as the Secondary Voice. The following ﬁgure illustrates this scenario:

To create this Layer Setup follow these steps. Be careful not to exit any of the Layer

parameter pages before the Layer Setup is complete. If you do, then simply exit Program

Mode and then enter it again and start from step 1:

1. Start by entering Program Mode by pressing the Program Function button. Using the

Value buttons or Object Select buttons, choose the Program you want for the Primary

Voice. For our example, let’s choose Program 88 Real Vibes.

2. Press the Layer Function button. Doing this makes the SPS4 create a Setup with a two

Zones with the same keyboard regions--i.e., overlapping keyboard regions. At this point,

both Voices are identical (except for channel): they have the same Program, Volume, and

Transposition. The following ﬁgure illustrates our current Setup:
