The Memory/Performance Program Number (001 to 128)

and Bank ([A] to [H])/Program Number ([1] to [16]) are

shown for the selected Performance. For example, “INT:

128(H16)” shows that the Memory is “Internal,” the

Performance/Program Number is “128,” the Bank is “H,”

and the Bank’s Program Number is “16.”

Memory/Performance Program Number

Internal Memories are shown as “INT” and External

Memories are shown as “EXT.” Each Voice within a

Memory is assigned a Performance Program Number of

Performance Program Numbers 001 to 128 are related

to Banks A to H and Program Numbers 1 to 16 (for the

Performance Play

In Performance Play Mode, multiple Voices (up to four

Parts) can be layered to create thick sounds which you

can play in real-time or using a sequencer.

In Performance Mode, up to 17 Parts can be combined in

a single Performance, including Voices for the 16 Parts

plus Plug-in Part.

Depending on the Performance Edit settings (Page 106),

you can assign a Normal Voice or Drum Voice (Drum Kit)

to each Part. Multiple Parts can be assigned to the same

MIDI channel for real-time playback. Alternatively, you

can assign each Part to a different MIDI channel for

playback using an external sequencer or the synthesizer’s

internal sequencer (in Sequence Play Mode).

The synthesizer can hold up to 192 Performances,

consisting of 128 Internal Performances plus another 64

External Performances on Memory Card.

The displayed screens, the method of selecting

Performances and the Multi Part Edit process in

Performance Play Mode are explained here.

If a multitimbral Plug-in board is installed, up to 32 Parts

can be combined in a single Performance. However, the

settings for the Plug-in Parts cannot be stored in memory.

An overview of Performances is given on Page 34.
