Second synth[*] layer

An alternative mother patch that adds six more synth slots and six more pattern slots.

The 201 Pocket Piano functions entirely as usual, and you still have access to synth slots 1-6 and pattern slots 1-6 in the normal way. However, you can access additional slots 7-12 by holding down shift and double tapping one of the buttons. For example, if you hold shift and double tap synth button 1 (B below middle C) you get synth 7. If you hold shift and double tap synth button 2 (middle C) you get synth 8. And so on.

The pattern and synth LEDs will blink with the metronome if their second layer has been selected.

Note that this is a variation of mother patch version 1.2.

There is more information on the GitHub page, including how to turn off the blinking.

Revision history:
– v1 – Initial release.
– v2 – Add second pattern layer and LED blinking.
