3. Playing the Piano (Basic Controls)

This chapter discusses the basic operations that are used to play the Concert Performer, such as sound selection,
Part configuration and effect settings.

1) Selecting a Part to Play

When the CP's main play screen is displayed (For example, when the CP is first turned on), you are presented with
four sound Parts that can be played from the keyboard. These four Parts are named LEFT/SPLIT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT
2, and SOLO, and each one has an instrument sound assigned to it. You can selectively turn on/off any combination
3
of these four Parts, allowing you to have up to four different sounds at the same time across the keyboard.
Sound assigned to Parts RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 will be layered on top of each other when both parts are active
at the same time. When the SOLO part is activated, the sound assigned to the Solo Part will be layered with the
RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 Parts. The SOLO part can also be set to split the keyboard so that the sound assigned to
the SOLO Part is only heard when you play above a specified key (split point) on the keyboard. See "Solo Settings"
on page 110 for details.
Activating the LEFT/SPLIT Part automatically splits the keyboard so that the sound assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part
is only heard when you play below a specified key (split point). Each Part has a dedicated button on the front panel
that selects and turns on/off that Part. You can Also select a Part by touching the appropriate area of the screen.
Selecting a Part is easy:
Step 1
Press the PART button for the Part you wish to activate.
The PART button LED will light.
Step 2
Press the PART button again to turn that Part off.
If the LCD screen is currently showing the main play screen, you can tell which Parts are active by looking at the name
of the sound assigned to it. If the name of a sound is in a large typeface, then the Part it is assigned to is active. If the
sound name is displayed in a small typeface, then the Part is not active.
This example indicates:
RIGHT 1 is currently active
SOLO, RIGHT 2, LEFT are inactive.
