Playing in Performance mode
There are Single and Layer Performances. The “Key
Mode:LAYER” indication under the Performance name rep-
resents Layer Performance, while the “Key Mode:SINGLE”
indication represents Single Performance.
Layer Performance allows playing two or more Parts simul-
taneously on the keyboard. Select Layer Performance if you
want fat, rich sounds of two or more Patches, or play differ-
ent Patches in a split keyboard’s different sections.
Single Performance plays only the Part shown in the display
(current Part). Select Single Performance for playing a song
using two or more instruments.
✳ Make your Performance type selection with the Key
Mode parameter (PERFORM/Common/Common) .
The Key Mode parameter determines how the XP-80
keyboard will play the internal sound source. It has no
effect on how the XP-80 sound source is played from
the built-in sequencer or an external MIDI device.
Selecting a Performance
The XP-80 offers three groups of Performances (User, Presets
A and B) with each group having 32 Performances. A total of
96 Performances is available.
USER
The XP-80 user memory includes 32 Performances that can

into the temporary area, modify them, and then store them
in user memory.
