Playing the Keyboard (in the Performance Play mode)
As in the Voice Play mode, the Performance Play mode is where you select and play the instrument sounds of this synthesizer.
In a Performance, you can mix several different Voices together in a layer, or split them across the keyboard, or even set up a
combination layer/split. Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts.
Selecting a Performance
128 Performances (1 bank) are provided in internal User memory (Flash ROM). In the Performance Play mode, you can select
and play individual User performances. Since there is only one bank for Performances, you need not select a Performance Bank.
In this condition, playing the keyboard sounds the Performance indicated in the display.
The parameters shown in the Performance Play mode are briefly explained below.
n Keep in mind that the example displays shown in this manual are for instruction purposes only, and the contents (for example, the Performance name here)
may differ slightly from those on your instrument.
Performances are divided into Groups [A] ~ [H]. Select a
Group to show a list of the Performances.
