Performance Structure
With this method, you can play all the parts of a band by
yourself. This type of Performance also uses different
Arpeggio types assigned to the individual Parts, making it
even easier to sound like a full band. In the example below,
the Drum pattern (by Arpeggio) will be played back
indefinitely even when you release the notes, the Bass line
(by Arpeggio) will be played back by your left hand
performance, and the Guitar backing (by Arpeggio) or Piano
Arpeggio will be played back by your right hand
performance.
In addition, you can change the Arpeggio Type assignment
for each Part by pressing any of the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons.
Guitar with the Arpeggio
Piano with the Arpeggio
Part 2 Bass with the Arpeggio
Drum with the Arpeggio Hold = ON

be created via the above methods. Try out various
Performances and see which method is used for each.
