Chapter 3 Creating a Performance

How a Performance Is
Organized
In the XV-5050'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-
5050 sound generator can play multiple sounds at the same time, it's
called a "multitimbral sound module."

Refer to "Quick Start" (p. 28).
Using the XV-5050 as a Multitimbral
Sound Module
In Performance mode, you can use the XV-5050 as a 16-part
multitimbral sound module. Let's try choosing some Parts and their
sounds, and then play the multiple Parts together as a Performance.
The basic steps for doing this include:
• Choosing the Parts to Play (p. 63)
• Choosing a Patch for each Part (p. 65)
• Setting the Parts' MIDI reception channels (p. 67)
After you've completed setting up your Performance, try playing a
sequence from your computer or sequencer using the Performance's
sounds.
