Selecting a Performance
The Performance is the musical heart of the Pa500. Unlike selecting single Sounds, selecting a Per-
formance will recall several Sounds at the same time, the needed effects and transpositions, plus many
more parameters useful for playing in a musical situation.
You can save all control panel settings in a Performance memory location. While many Performances
are already supplied with the instrument, you can customize each of them to your own taste, and then
save them in their customized form.
Similar to Performances, you can also save your settings to a Single Touch Setting (STS), which will
store all the settings for the Keyboard tracks. Four STSs are supplied with each Style and SongBook
entry, and can be selected with the four dedicated buttons under the display.
As far as Style tracks are concerned, you can save settings in a third object called the Style Perfor-
mance.
Please note that settings saved in Performance 1 are automatically selected when the instrument is
turned on. This means you can save your preferred startup settings to Performance 1.
