Performance Mode

Performance Play

In Performance Play Mode, multiple Voices (up to four
Parts) can be layered to create thick sounds which you
can play in real-time or using a sequencer.
In Performance Mode, up to 17 Parts can be combined in
a single Performance, including Voices for the 16 Parts
plus Plug-in Part.
Depending on the Performance Edit settings (Page 106),
you can assign a Normal Voice or Drum Voice (Drum Kit)
to each Part. Multiple Parts can be assigned to the same
MIDI channel for real-time playback. Alternatively, you
can assign each Part to a different MIDI channel for
playback using an external sequencer or the synthesizer's
internal sequencer (in Sequence Play Mode).
The synthesizer can hold up to 192 Performances,
consisting of 128 Internal Performances plus another 64
External Performances on Memory Card.
The displayed screens, the method of selecting
Performances and the Multi Part Edit process in
Performance Play Mode are explained here.
If a multitimbral Plug-in board is installed, up to 32 Parts
can be combined in a single Performance. However, the
settings for the Plug-in Parts cannot be stored in memory.
An overview of Performances is given on Page 34.
