PERFORMANCE COMPARE

The performance compare function makes it possible to compare the sound

of a performance combination being edited with the same performance combi-

nation prior to editing.

To temporarily recall the original performance data while editing, press the

[EDIT/COMPARE] key. The [EDIT] LED will flash, indicating that the com-

pare mode is engaged. Press [EDIT/COMPARE] a second time to return to the

edit mode and the performance combination being edited.
