2) Selecting Sounds

The Concert Performer has over 1000 instrument and drum sounds available from the front panel. You can freely

assign any of these sounds to the four Parts. Remember that there is always a sound assigned to each of the

Parts, even if some of the Parts are not currently active.

The sounds span a tremendous variety of instruments, ranging from traditional acoustic sounds to modern electronic

tones. To help you quickly ﬁnd the sound that you want, the sounds have been organized into 8 categories, each

with a dedicated Sound Selection button on the front panel.

Pressing the OTHERS button will display a separate menu, with an extra 9 sub-categories of additional sounds to be

selected. Within the OTHERS display, the USER category provides convenient access to User edited sounds.

Finally, the FAVORITES button allows up to 20 of your favorites sounds to be stored and recalled simply and

conveniently.
