When to use single play or
performance play mode
| | Transmit channel
By
now
you
probably
understand
the
difference
between
single
play
mode
and
performance
play
mode.
Here
are
a
few
points
to
help
you
decide
when
to
use
each
mode.
Single play mode
(1) When you want to use just one voice
(2)
When
you
are
using
a
sequencer
or
external
key-
board to play just one voice
Performance play mode
(1)
When
you
want
several
voices
to
sound
when
a
single
key
is
pressed
(2)
When
you
want
to
play
different
voices
from
dif-
ferent
areas
of
the
keyboard
(This
is
known
as
“keyboard
split”.)
(3)
When
you
are
using
a
sequencer
to
play
several
voices
at
once.
There
are
many
other
ways
to
use
the
two
modes,
de-
pending
on
your
setup
and
musical
needs.
