Playing in Performance Mode

Playing Different Sounds in
Different Areas of the
Keyboard (Split)				Mode
In Performance mode you can divide the keyboard and play a
different patch in each area (this is called “split”). As the note range				Performancein
that plays each zone can be specified individually, you can split the
keyboard into a maximum of 16 sections.
For instance, you can play strings in the lower range, piano in the
upper range, and both sounds in the middle range.

Part 1: Strings
		Part 1 + Part 2:	Part 2: Piano
	(Strings + Piano)

A split performance is one application of a layer performance. Changing the key range of each patch in the layer performance results in a split performance.

•If the Key Range of the patch has been set (p. 58), the sound will be heard for keys in the area for which the key ranges of the patch and performance overlap.

The range in which notes will play

•In a performance, you can specify the range over which each part will sound (p. 102), but if you will be playing the performance from the keyboard of the Fantom, we recommend that you use the zone settings explained here to specify the keyboard range, instead of specifying the range of each part.

1.Access the PERFORMANCE PLAY screen (p. 84).

2.Refer to the procedure for the preceding section “Combining and Playing Sounds Together (Layer),” and turn the Internal Screen on for each zone that is connected to a part you want to play.
