Playing
Live
When
playing
for
an audience,
many
musicians lend
to
stay
with
a
single
Part,
and
change
the
Tones
for
it
as the\
go
along.
It
is
easy
lo
get the
impression
that
they
are not
really
taking
advantage
of
their
synthesiz-
er's
multi-timbral
capabilities.
You
may
want
to
try
getting
more
out of
your
instrument
by
using
some
of
the features
described
below.

Are You
Using a
Key
Mode?
During
live
performances
the use
ot
Key
Modes
can be
quite
effect
i\e.
The
W-50
provides
four
key
modes.
Of
these,
DUAL
and SPLIT
use
two
Parts
at
once.
When
you
are
using
one
of
these
Key Modes,
the following
will
be
shown
in
the display so
you
know
that
you
are
using
two
Parts
at
the
same
time.

Changing
Tones Quickly
In
preparing
for
a
stage
performance,
you
may
want
to
assign the
Tones
that
you
expect
to
use
to the Parts
in
numerical
order.
Then
while
playing
you can
instantaneously switch
to
the next
Tone
you need
simply
by changing
to
the next
Part.
For
example, your
plans
might
call for
the
following
Tone
changes:
Organ
1
-»
Synth Brass 3
-»
60s
E.
Piano
-»
Fantasia
...
To
select
Tones on
the
W-50,
you need
to
use the
PRESET/USER,
TONE
GROUP
1—16,
NUMBER
1
—
8,
and
VARIATION
buttons.
So,
in
order
to select
the
Tones
above,
you would need
to
press
this
com-
bination of buttons:
Tone

Since
this
involves pressing
a
lot
of
buttons,
you cannot
expect
to
be
able
to
make
rapid
Tone
changes
this
way.
But
if
you
assign the
Tones
to Parts
like
this...
Parti

...
...you will
not
need
to
be bothered
with pressing
buttons, since
you can
select
the
Tones
simply by
select-
ing
Parts
1
—
4.
These
settings
can
also
then
be
stored as
a
Performance,
and
used
as
one
of the
Tone
setups
that
you need
for
your
repertoire.
