You are allowed ONE split point to divide the key bed into TWO zones. Many keyboards allow at least the upper zone (if not both) to also be layered with a second voice, but the GW-8 owner's manual makes no mention of this, so apparently it is not possible. It appears that you would have to choose between split or layer.

Regards,

Ted

GW-8 has a hidden option...
I discover it when I used an external controller (edirol).
If you have a midi controller that can send more then one channel, let's say, midi ch.: 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, when you save the performance, GW-8 saves those channels settings too.
So, if you use a midi controller to play on those channels, using program change/control change (bank select), you can use a performance with more the one tone.
it saves the tones used on those channels, including mixing, like send effects, just like a song.
Ah, for programing, much easier, use a Cubase MIDI Device Map, or other software that have the GW8 tones/patch mapping.

You might want to ask this question on the Roland Clan "miscellaneous" forum. I saw a couple GW8 questions posted there:
