Another important
role of a
Performance
is
to
perform
some
of the overall functions of
sound
mixing,
such
as
determiiiing
how
to
balance the
audio output
witli effects
from
tlie
various
Patches,
and
deciding
wMch
jacks
to
use
for
output.
Performers
of Patches
and
a
Rhythm
Set
—
Parts
You
can
think
of a Part as
one
of
16
boxes
in
a
Performance
tliat is
used
to
hold
a
Patch
or
Rliythm
Set.
These
Parts
can be used
to
turn
the
J
V-IOBD
into
a multi-timbral
soimd
module.
It
may
help
to
tliink
of the Parts as
performers,
and
the
Performance
as the entire orchestra.
The
orchestra
(Performance) can play
different
works by
having
different
instruments
(Patches
and
Rhythm
Sets)
assigned
to
the
different
performers
(Parts).
Using Performances
You've been
told that the
JV-IOBD
orchestra
has
16 performers.
Then
who
is
the
conductor
of
this
orchestra?
It's
you
—
the
live-stage
keyboard
player!
You
can
also
have
a
sequencer
or
computer
(DTMS)
substitute
for
you.
Tliis
section explains a typical
method
of
using Performances.
Using
the
JV-1080
Live
on
Stage
On
a
live
stage, there aren't
all
that
many
occasions
for
ensemble
play
with
multiple
Parts.
Normally
just
one
Part
is
used,
often
with
changes
in
the
Patches
used
for
playing
made
during
the
performance.
In
cases
like
this,
there
is
no
special
need
to
be
aware
that the
_IV-1DBD
is
a multi-timbral
sound
module.
Sometimes, though,
you
may
want
to
use a
keyboard
that
can
control
more
than
one sound
module
Part.
For
instance,
you
might
want
to
play
the
bass
line
with
the
loft
hand and
the
piano
part
with
the
right.
Or
even
if
you
control
just
one
Part
with
the
keyboard,
you
might want
to
have
a
sequencer
control the other
Parts
to
make
your
setup
a
one-man
band.
If
you want
to
u.se
the
Performances
of the
JV-1080
for
sophisticated
live
play, see
"Live
Performance
Techniques"
{<^.p. 79).
Using
fhe
J V-lOBD
as
a Sound Module Expanding a
Desktop Music System (DTMS)
One
big obstacle
that
probably every
DTMS
user rims
into
is
an inadequate
number
of
sounds
that
can be
played
at
the
same
time. Tlie
JV-10S0
can play 64
sounds
simultaneously,
which
is
double
that of
many
previous
DTMS
sound
modules.
This ensures
ample
response
for
majestic orchestrations
and
piano
keyboard runs
with
the
damper
pedal depressed.
The
JV-IDBD
also
supports
the
General
MIDI
System,
the de-
facto
standard
for
DTMS
somid
modules.
This
means
that
you
can
play
back
any
of the
rich
array of
existing
music
data
(GM
scores)
with even
better
sound
quality.
If
you want
to
use
your
unit
with
DTMS,
see
"Using
the
JV-IDBD
with
a
DTMS"
(«p.
76).
