Using performances

Performances are registrations of sound combinations. In- stead of selecting single sounds, or a combination of sounds, you simply select a performance. A performance then recalls one or two sounds, each one with their own settings, plus the memorized split point (if the sounds are in Split mode).

There are 30 performances (10 groups ⋅ 3 banks each). Each group corresponds to one of the numbered sound select but- tons (1 ~ 10). You can then choose one of the three banks in- side the selected group by using the VARIATION button (more details are on page 70).

*Note: These performances, with sounds set in Layer mode, do not use EPx effects.

**Note: Performance 30 (PnoExpDEMO) is designed to demon- strate our “Piano eXperience” technology, by exaggerating the amount of key-off/hammer return portion of the Grand Piano sound; it is not intended to be a play-able timbre. Normally, these additional Piano eXperience sounds are not perceived as separate elements, but together with the other sample layers, they are a vital part of the realism and the authentic piano tone.
