Performance Mode

Multi Play In Performance Mode

• In Performance mode you can use the Performance as one

instrument Part plus 12 additional Parts for multitimbral play

using an external MIDI sequencer. The Layer (using between

1 and 4 voices) makes up Part 1 and the additional 12 Parts

available correspond to Parts 5 ~ 16.

Though the receive channels are set at the factory as shown in

the following diagram, you can change the receive channels

using the Utility mode’s MIDI RCV CH (Receive Channel)

parameter.

• If a channel is selected for both the Performance and one of

the Multi Parts, the two will be played simultaneously,

producing two sounds at once. Check the settings for the

receive channels when you play the Performance and get an

extra unintentional sound besides the Performance Layer.

• In Performance mode, you cannot modify the Multi settings

on the panel except for the receive channel setting. Use an

external MIDI device such as sequencer to modify the Multi

settings.

• You can play only one Performance at a time. It is not

possible to use the Performances as Parts for the Multi or to

configure the Layers using the Performances.

■ POLY/MONO

This determines whether the voice in each Layer is played

monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically

(up to a maximum 64 notes at a time).

Generally Polyphonic mode is selected to generate multiple

sounds at one time. There are cases, however, where it is

more effective to select Monophonic mode, such as when

using a bass sound, brass sound, or an analog synthesizer

lead sound.

Settings:

Mono/Poly: mono, poly

You can play up to 64 notes at a time. However, the number of

notes may be reduced or truncated if you use voices which consist

of two Layers and/or play a rather complicated song which uses too

many notes.
