Playing The Keyboard (In The Performance Play Mode); Selecting A Performance - Yamaha MOTIF ES Owner's Manual

Playing the Keyboard (in the Performance Play mode)

As in the Voice Play mode, the Performance Play mode is where you select and play the instrument sounds of this synthesizer.
In a Performance, you can mix several different Voices together in a layer, or split them across the keyboard, or even set up a
combination layer/split. Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts.

Selecting a Performance

128 Performances (1 bank) are provided in internal User memory (Flash ROM). In the Performance Play mode, you can select
and play individual User performances. Since there is only one bank for Performances, you need not select a Performance Bank.
