Performance
A Performance is a combination of sounds and settings that determine how PK5 Orien-
tal plays. Performances can store the current status of the panel buttons and information
pertaining to the parts that make up a Performance to play in real time and with Styles.
Performances memorise effect settings, the status of the controllers (pedals, pitch bend
wheel), the Arabic Scale configuration, the MIDI channel configuration, the status of the
tracks (active/mute), the Tempo setting and more. By recalling a Performance, you can
reset all the PK5 Oriental parameters and functions in a single step.
There are 63 programmable Performances available to choose from, giving you a variety
of possibilities of setting the PK5 Oriental to your liking with the least number of opera-
tions. In addition, in ROM (non-programmable) there are as many Style-Performances
as there are ROM Styles, which you can recall at the touch of a button using the SINGLE
TOUCH PLAY function.
RealTime Performances
63 user-programmable Performances are memorised in the PERFORMANCE GROUPS.
Performances recall combinations of the keyboard sounds (keyboard modes) as well as
memorised panel settings. Given that the Performances store the current Style, Variation
and Tempo at the moment of pressing the STORE PERFORMANCE command, the
Performances can also be a source of Styles and Variations.
Style Performance
96 default non-programmable Performances are associated to the ROM Styles which are
permanently stored in the instrument’s Read Only Memory. The default Style Perform-
ances are recalled when Styles are selected with the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function
selected (display indicator on). Style Performances recall sounds for the accompani-
ments and keyboard sections.
Single Touch Play settings
Single Touch Play settings are additional “Performances” which are recalled by using the
function buttons F1…F9 when the SINGLE TOUCH PLAY function is active (display
indicator S.T.PLAY selected). In this condition, as well as being able to select the ROM
Styles using the Style/Song selection keypad, you can also recall up to 9 preset real time
keyboard settings (combinations of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower sounds) which
depend on the current Style. The possibilities are, therefore, endless when you consider
that there are 96 ROM Styles, each with 9 Single Touch Play settings (864 preset set-
tings!).
Song Style Performances
Song Style Performances (non-programmable) are associated to the Song Styles which
are stored in appropriate memory locations as indicated in the Style/Song lists at the top
of the instrument’s control panel. The Song Style Performances recall accompaniment
sounds, the chords that trigger the Style patterns and the recorded keyboard sounds.
The Performances via MIDI?.........
Via MIDI, the PK5 Oriental Performances are a source of 16 Sounds, regardless of the
status of the instrument. It is possible to modify all 16 Performance tracks via MIDI only
by means of Control Change messages.
If you are playing in real time or with the Styles, access is not permitted to the other 8
tracks not displayed, but if you are programming PK5 Oriental via MIDI for use as a
multi-timbral slave device, all 16 tracks are taken into consideration.
Selecting Sounds and Performances via MIDI is discussed in a later chapter.
