Selecting and Creating Tones

Hex Layer tones have three types of editable parameters: parameters for each of the individual layers (Layer 1 through Layer 6),
parameters that affect all six of the layers, and the same parameters that apply to the other tone categories.
•The nine sliders (

3
) can be used for quick and easy adjustment of some of the parameters in the list below (page E-35).
