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.

In the 3rd to 7th screens, you can set the output levels, stereo pan position and other general parameters for each Part (Multi Part Edit). These are useful when using the synthesizer with a sequencer. Details are given on Page 104.

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.”

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 001 to 128.

Details about Performance Memories are given on Page 24.

Performance Program Numbers 001 to 128 are related to Banks A to H and Program Numbers 1 to 16 (for the Bank) as explained below. For example, you can select a Performance either directly by its Performance Program Number or by using a combination of Bank and Program keys.
