Chapter 5 Creating a Performance

Creating Performances

In the XV-3080's Performance mode, you can play and
control up to 16 instrument sounds at the same time,
including Patches and/or Rhythm Sets. Such a set of sounds,
as well as an effect setup, can be saved as a "Performance."
Each Performance is comprised of 16 "Parts," each of which
controls one of its sounds. Because the XV-3080 sound
generator can play multiple sounds at the same time, it's
called a "multitimbral sound generator."
