Layera by MaNiFy
One keyboard.
Every patch.
Layera gates your MIDI by channel — so only the patch you want responds to your hands. Tap a tile to switch sounds. No DAW gymnastics. No track-arming. No fumbling between songs.

I have eight sounds loaded but only one is supposed to play. Why am I muting tracks between every section?
— Every live worship keys player, ever
Every Layera feature, in motion.
Load your worship piano on CH 1, pads on CH 2, lead on CH 3, organ on CH 4. Layera decides which channel hears your keys. The others stay silent — loaded, ready, gated.
Big tiles on your screen, each one a patch. Tap with a finger, a trackpad, a footswitch — the active sound changes instantly. Your hands never leave the keys.
Need pad and piano under a chorus? Hold the footswitch and Layera layers the two patches together. Release to drop back to a single sound. Beautiful, instant, no programming.
Drop section markers in your DAW. When the Chorus marker fires from Cue Engine, Layera flips to your Chorus patch automatically — while you keep playing. Verse, Bridge, Outro: all hands-free.
Layera shows your patches as a big grid — "Worship Piano", "Lead Pad", "Bridge Synth", "Tag Organ". Glance and know where you are. The active one glows.
Layera listens for MIDI Program Change on any port you choose. Send PC 1 for Piano, PC 2 for Pad, PC 3 for Lead. Route from your sequencer, controller, foot pedal — whatever you already use.
Layera runs alongside any host. It doesn't host plugins itself — it routes the MIDI before it hits your DAW. Keep all your existing instruments, presets, libraries. Layera just gates the signal.
Map a sound to every part for every section — piano, pad, strings, lead. When the section changes, every part changes with it, together, on the beat. You just play; the rig follows the song.
Layera captures your whole multi-part performance once, then loads it onto any board you walk up to — MODX, Montage, Kronos, Fantom, Nautilus. No menu-diving at the venue. Your sounds are just there.
Dial in effects, filter and LFO movement for each section — reverb here, a filter sweep there. Map any knob or fader on your controller with one-tap MIDI Learn. It all recalls automatically when the section fires.
Want a pad swell on the last two bars of the chorus, or a filter sweep into the bridge? Drop a Moment — your personal layer on top of the section, fired right on time, hands-free.
Choose sharp or smooth transitions that blend one sound into the next — no gaps, no clicks. Save your entire setlist as a single .lyr file: open it and you're ready to play. Start simple in Essentials, or go deep in Pro — up to sixteen layers.
Pair Layera with Cue Engine and your patches change automatically at every section. Verse to Chorus to Bridge — the right sound is always live, exactly when you need it, with no thought from you.
