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.
1. While holding down the button of a sound to be lay-
ered, press another sound button.
The two selected sound buttons light up.
In order to use sounds in different banks, first select the
banks in the Single mode for the sound buttons to be
pressed.
For example, to play by layering the German Grand
Piano and Jazz Organ 2 sounds, select bank 1 (German
Grand Piano) for the PIANO1 button and bank 2 (Jazz
Organ 2) for the ORGAN1 button, and then press both
buttons simultaneously.
To adjust the volume balance of the two sounds, press
the FUNCTION button, then the HARPSI/CLAV but-
ton, and then press the + or – button to adjust the set-
ting. After selecting the setting, press the FUNCTION
button again.
(Refer to "Layer Mode settings" below and "Function
Mode" on page 12.)
2. To return to Single Mode, press any single Sound But-
ton.
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, German Grand Piano and Jazz
Piano are both accessed via the PIANO1 button and
thus cannot be layered.
Layer Mode settings
In Layer Mode, the volume balance between sounds can be
adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shifted, and the
damper pedal can be enabled or disabled for each sound.
(refer to "Function Mode" on page 12.)
The leftmost or uppermost selected sound button is
layer 1, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is
layer 2 (see the diagram at the below).
Layer 1
For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected,
E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2.
Performing with another person
(Partner mode)
Two people can play in the same range with the keyboard di-
vided in half between them. This is called the Partner mode.

Entering Partner Mode
With the C1/C1 Air turned off, hold down the BANK but-
ton, and then press the Power button. When a dot appears
in the lower-right corner of the display, release the BANK
button.
When the C1/C1 Air is in Partner Mode, a dot appears in the
lower-right corner of the display.
The PIANO1 sound is used for both the left and right sides
of the keyboard.
The right side of the keyboard, from E4 to C8, produces
sounds two octaves lower in pitch (E2–C6).
The left side of the keyboard, from A0 to E
sounds two octaves higher in pitch (A2–E
A0 Ｅ 4 E4

Changing the sound for both sides
Press a sound button. Both sides will change to the same
sound.
Selecting sounds for the left and right sides
Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the sounds
to be used. The two pressed sound buttons light up.
Sound for left side of keyboard
Sound for right side of keyboard
The leftmost or uppermost selected sound button is for
the left side of the keyboard, and the other (rightmost
or lowermost) one is for the right side of the keyboard.
For example, if the sound from the E.PIAN1 button is to
be applied to the left side and the sound from the OR-
GAN1 button is to be applied to the right side, hold down
the E.PIAN1 button, and then press the ORGAN1 button.
Previously, each Sound Button should have been used
in the Single Mode to select the correct sound.
Damper Pedal Assignments
In the Partner Mode, the Soft pedal acts as a damper
pedal for the left side of the keyboard; the Damper
pedal acts as the damper pedal for the right side of the
keyboard.
The Sostenuto pedal has no function in Partner Mode.
The volume balance of the sounds for the left and right
sides can be adjusted with "Volume balance for Layer Mode
(or Partner Mode)" in "Function Mode" on page 12.
Exiting Partner Mode
Turn off the C1/C1 Air to exit Partner Mode.
When only the Power button is pressed to turn on the C1/
C1 Air, it will be in the normal mode (Single Mode).
In Partner Mode, a demo song cannot be played back
and a user song cannot be recorded or played back. In
addition, no Function Mode settings other than the vol-
ume balance for Partner Mode and no MIDI function
mode settings can be specified.
