Roland A-37 Help with Layers.
Posted: 21:10, 11 March 2015
Hi,
I have a Roland A-37 and drive a Yamaha Motif Rack Unit.
I need to play two patches during the same song. As far as I can tell, this is acheived by using the layers.
I have tried several times to get this to work, with not luck.
I have successfully assigned a patch to a channel.
But I can't get a channel set on lower and then one on upper.
I think the issue is in the programming sequence of the Roland, and not the Motif...though I do need to know which midi receive channel to set the Motif on ... I assumed "omni" if the Lower layer was using channel 1, and Upper using channel 2...
I am so close yet so far away in setting this up and would rather not get another keyboard to give me this capability.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
