Using Performances

Your CP5 or CP50 comes packed with a wide range of different presets, and these are referred to as Performances.
Designed to allow multiple voices to be sounded together, each Performance comprises a number of parts and a Reverb
block, which applies a common reverberation effect to the parts. Furthermore, Master Compressor and Master Equalizer
blocks, which affect all Performances in the same way, can also be used to ensure that the sound of your CP5 or CP50 is
always perfectly matched to its playing environment. For more details on Performances, refer to the Reference Manual
pdf document.
