Storing a Performance
Make any desired changes to the settings of the
Performance.
All the settings discussed from chapter 2 "Trying out
the Tones" (p.16) to chapter 3 "Modifying the sound
in real time while you play" (p.28) are included in a
Performance.
* In addition to these, there are also other settings
which are included in a Performance. For details
refer to "List of Performance parameters" (p.59).
*
When making Performance settings, you may wish
to set the Keyboard Mode to Single, and switch
between the Parts to make the necessary settings for
each Part. In this case, the "Upper Part" setting will
automatically be rewritten. If you have switched
Parts, remember to re-set the "Upper Part" setting
before you save the Performance. For details refer to
"Selecting Parts" and "About the Part played by the
keyboard in Single mode" (p.19). You will also
switch Parts when creating a Tone or a Drum Set
(Chapter 4. "Creating your own Tone or Drum Set"
p.34), and in such cases also, the "Upper Part" set-
ting will automatically be rewritten. Here too, you
will need to re-set the "Upper Part" setting.
When you have finished making settings for your
Performance, be careful not to select a Performance. If
you select a Performance before saving your edited
Performance, your edits will be lost.
When you save (write) a Performance, the settings
that were previously in that User Performance memo-
ry will be overwritten and lost. Make sure that the
Performance in the writing destination is one that you
do not need to keep.
* If you turn the power off without saving the
Performance, the Performance settings you made
will be lost.

Changing from equal tempera-
ment to Pure Temperament or
an Arabic scale (Scale Tune)
What are Equal Temperament, Pure
Temperament, and Arabic scales?
Equal Temperament
This scale divides the octave into 12 equal steps, and
is the most widely used scale, especially in the music
of the Western world.
Pure Temperament
In comparison
to Equal
Temperament,
Pure
Temperament allows the three principal chords to
have a purer sound. However, these chords will be
pure only in one key, and chords played in a different
key will be discordant.
Arabic Scale
In comparison to Equal Temperament, E and B are
1/2 a semitone low, and C#, F# and G# are 1/2 a
semitone high. The intervals of G-B, C-E, F-G#,
A#-—C# and D#-F# are neutral thirds (an interval
midway between a major third and a minor third).
