Performance Play mode
34 Owner’s Manual
Performance Play mode
Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts. This lets you play, for example, Flute, Violin, and Timpani Voices in
a layer across the keyboard, or split the keyboard according to the bass and melody parts, then play the two different
instruments and sound like a duo—even though you’re playing by yourself.
Selecting a Performance
128 Performances (1 bank) are provided in internal User memory. In the Performance Play mode, you can select and play
individual User Performances.
Since there is only one bank for Performances, you need not select a Performance Bank.
In this condition, playing the keyboard sounds the Performance indicated in the display. The parameters shown in the
Performance Play mode are briefly explained below.
nKeep in mind that the example displays shown in this manual are for instruction purposes only, and the contents (for example, the Performance name
here) may differ slightly from those on your instrument.
