You
can specify instruments
for
each Performance

and
specify
how
sound
parameters (pitch/decay/nuance/pan)
will
change
according
to the note

This determines
the
MIDI
Receive
channel.
Note
message, pitch
bend message, and
control
change message
will
be received on
this
channel.
This determines
the
volume
of each Performance

Higher
values will result
in
a
louder
volume. At
a
setting
of
there will
be no
sound.
*This
value can be
modified
by volume messages
(control

Key
range
low/high
:

This detennines
the range
of
notes
that will
be
received by each Performance
Section.
Note
message between
the
key
range
low (lower
limit) and
the
key range high (upper
limit) will
be received. For example, you can
set
two
or
more
Performance Sections
to the
same receive
channel and
set
them
to different
key ranges so
that different
sounds can be played over
different ranges.
