Playing a Performance

In Performance Play Mode, you can select and play any of 128 internal and 64 external (Memory Card) Performances.

A Performance is a set of Voices used with the built-in (or an external) sequencer. Performances also let you set the synthesizer up for multitimbral operation.

Each Performance can contain up to 16 Parts assigned to different Voices, plus an extra Part for a Plug-in Board. If the Layer Switch (Page 117) parameter is switched on for any Parts, those Parts can be play in unison. Also, you can assign multiple Parts to different MIDI channels so that they can be played or be controlled individually using the built-in (or an external) sequencer. Up to 128 Performances can be stored in the internal memory and up to 64 on Memory Card. These Performance settings are available in Performance Edit Mode (Page 106). Here, we will show how to get started with Performance Play after selecting a Performance.

INT (internal) is stored in internal Random Access Memory (RAM) and contains factory default Performances. These can be overwritten but can recalled at any time.

EXT (external) is stored on a Memory Card (RAM) inserted in the CARD slot. If there is no Memory Card inserted and you attempt to select an EXT Performance, “-----” will be displayed and no sound will be produced. With a Memory Card inserted, you can select and play EXT Performances.
