Creating A Performance By Combining Parts; Selecting A Performance - Yamaha montage6 Owner's Manual

Quick Guide — Editing the Settings
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
Number C [1] – [8] buttons.

Using or combining the four methods described above gives
you the ability to create a rich variety of Performances. By
default, many Performances stored in the Preset Banks have
been created via the above methods. Try out various
Performances and see which method is used for each.
