Layer Alternate

You can use this module to switch between different layers automatically. This is
useful for alternating between the up and down bows of a string instrument or the left
and right hand of drum strokes, for example.
To alternate playback between different layers, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the Layer Alternate module above the layers between which you want to
switch.
2. Open the editor for the module and drag the layers from the Expression Pool into
the Alternation List in the order you want to switch them.
You can rearrange the order of the list using drag and drop.
3. Select the Alternation Mode and start playback.
Layer Alternate always switches the playback between layers. For switching between
single zones, use Variation Groups instead, see
page 94.
To play back a specific expression, turn off the Enable button to stop any automatic
alternation and select the expression in the Alternation list.
Expression Pool
This list shows the available layers that can be alternated.
Alternation List
To alternate the layers, drag and drop them from the Expression Pool to this list. You
can change the order of the listed layers by dragging them to a new position. The layer
that is currently played back is highlighted. To remove an expression from the
Alternation list, use the context menu.
Description
Scales the decay time across the keyboard. You can set a center
key that is used as the central position for the Key Follow function.
For example, set this parameter to positive values to decrease the
decay time for notes above and increase it for notes below the
center key.
Specifies the note number that is used as a central position for the
key follow function of the Decay Time. The range extends from C-2
to G8.
