ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES
A Performance is a combination of sounds that sets the instrument automatically for real time playing
(keyboard sounds), for the accompaniments (Styles) and for Songs (multitrack recording) The Perform-
ances feature single, layered and multi sounds, split and full keyboard combinations, custom effect
settings and more. You can create your own Performances or load new ones from disk.
The Performance memorises, in addition to the sounds, the status of the effects, the assignments of
the controlling devices (trackball, pedals, pads), the MIDI channel configuration, the track status (active/
mute), the mixer settings and Tempo data. Selecting a Performance instantly changes all the sounds
of the tracks and the relative Performance settings.
Performances are divided into two types: those residing in the PERFORMANCE GROUPS which
govern the keyboard sounds and those associated to Styles and Songs which are recalled by selecting
the respective element. The structure and programming procedures of both Performance types are
practically identical. In this section, we'll take a closer look at the RealTime Performances.
SK760/880 has 64 user programmable Performances, organized into eight different banks.

RealTime, press the STYLE/REALTIME but-
