Each Performance is assigned settings for two sounds, which are called "Patches." By using the slides
or knobs etc. to modify the settings of these Patches you can modify the sound in various ways.
The two Patches are assigned to the Lower Part and the Upper Part respectively. From the panel you
can modify the settings of the Patch which is assigned to the Part whose [LOWER] or [UPPER] indica-
tor is lit.
