■About Performance number

Each Performance not only has a Performance

number (listed 001~128), but also a Bank (A-H)

with a Program number from 1~16. With EX5/7

You can access the Performance two different ways,

with the numeric keypad for the Performance

numbers or with the Bank and Program keys for the

Bank/Program numbers.

The Bank and Program keys are not available with the

EX5R.

The relationship between the Performance number

and the Bank/Program number is shown below.

Performance Play Mode

Performance Play mode lets you play the Performances

of your own creation in realtime and use the EX5/5R/7

as a powerful multi timbre tone generator using the

internal sequencer function (Song mode/Pattern mode)

or an external sequencer.

In Performance Edit mode you can assign voices and

drum voices to a maximum of 16 parts with the

different MIDI channel settings. It means the

EX5/5R/7 can operate as 16 individual tone generators

(maximum). Also, multiple parts can be set to the same

MIDI channel to create layers.

For Performances you have created, there are eight

Internal Banks (A-H) each with 16 Programs, a total of

128 memory locations. With EX5/7 all of the

Performances are quickly accessible from the panel by

pressing Bank/Program keys. It will be a powerful tool

for your realtime performance in a studio or on a stage.

Following is an explanation of the screen that appears

when Performance Play mode is selected, and how to

select a Performance.

To obtain the arpeggiator function in Performance mode,

both the Arpeggio Switch and Layer Switch (page 166)

should be on before turning on the Arpeggiator by

ARPEG(GIO) key on the panel.
