P-150 OVERVIEW
Voice Play and Performance Play Modes
The P-150 has two basic Play modes, Voice Play mode and Performance Play
mode. Within each mode are various Voice and Performance parameters, or
settings that you can change, which make up the sound of the selected voice and
the specific operating status of the P-150.
A group of overall System settings apply to both Voice Play and Performance Play
modes, and Edit mode lets you access and edit a wide variety of System and other
functions, as shown in the following illustration.
As the above illustration shows, the primary difference between Voice Play mode
and Performance Play mode is:
In Voice Play mode, a single set of Performance parameter settings apply to any
voice (and its specified Voice parameter settings) which you select.
In Performance Play mode, a complete set of Performance parameters can be
configured specifically for any particular voice (and its specified Voice parameter
settings). The P-150 can store up to 24 Performances for instant recall.
Normally you will operate in Voice Play mode, Auto Store status (See About Store
Type, next page)as you select sounds and make parameter assignments as
dictated by your current music session. Then you can store those settings to any
of the 24 Performances, which you can then access at any time by the press of a
[PERFORMANCE SELECT] button in Performance Play mode. (You can also
perform bulk dump operations of Performance data to and from an external MIDI
device such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data Filer.)
