Playing Voices

Each CP4 STAGE Performance can contain three
different Parts (MAIN, LAYER, and SPLIT); each
CP40 STAGE Performance can contain two (MAIN and
SPLIT/LAYER). A Voice is assigned to each of these
Parts. Only the name of the MAIN Part's Voice is shown
on the Performance screen when the instrument is turned
on in its default condition, and only this Voice is set to
produce a sound (i.e., only the [MAIN] button is lit).

button with the [SHIFT] button held down to initialize
the currently selected Performance.
