Creating a Performance

How a Performance Is Organized

In the XV-2020'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-2020 sound generator can play multiple sounds at the same time, it's called a
"multitimbral sound module."

Basic Ways to Use Performances

There are three basic ways to use Performances.
Playing Multiple Layered Patches (Layer)
You can set a number of Parts to the same MIDI reception channel so that their Patches sound at the same
time. This type of Performance is referred to as a Layer.

Playing Different Patches In Different Areas of the Keyboard (Split)
In a Performance, you can divide the keyboard into separate ranges and assign a different Patch to each
range. This can be done by selecting the same MIDI reception channel for multiple Parts and then
changing the pitch range over which each Part plays. This type of keyboard setup is referred to as a Split.
A split is like a layer in which the Parts' pitch ranges don't overlap (Playing Multiple Layered Patches).
