Editing Performances (Layer/Split)
Basic Structure (page 45) · Reference (page 170)
Performances can be made up of a maximum of four parts (voices), selected from the internal tone generator Parts 1 - 4
and Plug-in board Parts 1 - 3.
You can create a performance by layering several voices together, and by assigning different voices to separate ranges
of the keyboard. You can then store up to 128 of your original, edited performances to internal User memory.
