Roland A-37 Help with Layers.

[chartheo]

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.

Charlie
