Tracks
A Track is the smallest part of a Performance and each type of Performance contains a
number of tracks that correspond to the playing mode to which the Performance is asso-
ciated.
A sound can be assigned to each track; the display always shows the sounds assigned to
the keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower) and the Style accompaniment tracks
(Drum, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3). The remaining 8 tracks of a Performance that are not
display can be accessed via MIDI only.
The Sounds assigned to the tracks are displayed as Program Change numbers. The bar
graphs shown directly under the Program Change numbers represent the track Volume
levels.
The On/Off status of the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower tracks can be changed by interven-
ing directly on the corresponding section activators (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower buttons to
the right of the display). The On/Off status of all the other tracks of the Performance
(except the real time tracks) is changed by pressing the corresponding Function button
repeatedly (provided that the PERF function is not shown selected with the arrowhead).
The On/Off status of the tracks is shown by the track name (e.g. ‘Drum’) which is dis-
played when ON or cancels when OFF. The Bass accompaniment track is also available
for Manual Bass playing when the sequencer is off.
