How to program the Performances
PK7/PK5 contains 63 user-programmable Performances which you can modify to suit your needs.
Performance programming tasks are a simple matter and they offer the possibility of recalling preferred Sound
combinations, Styles and panel settings.
Here is a list of tasks which can be carried out to modify a Performance. The important thing to remember right
away is that the instrument MUST NOT be set to PERF mode - the arrowhead to the left of the display MUST
NOT indicate the PERF menu function. Using the Page [ ] and [ ] buttons, you can select the various pages.
1) Assign sounds to the tracks.
Select a track with the corresponding function button (F1…F9) under the display, and recall a Sound by
specifying the corresponding number on the Sound selection keypad. The DIAL also controls the track
volume.

2) Change the ON/OFF status of the Real Time keyboard tracks.
Activate or deactivate the keyboard sections UPPER 1, UPPER 2 and LOWER.
3) Change the ON/OFF status of the accompaniment tracks (Drum, Bass, Acc1 Acc2, Acc3).
Press the corresponding function button repeatedly to obtain the OFF status. It is not possible to change
the ON/OFF status of the real time keyboard tracks with the corresponding function buttons (F7…F9) - this
is done with the corresponding activators (Upper 1, Upper 2; Lower). The ON/OFF status of a track can be
seen at a glance by the corresponding name (for example ‘Drum’) which will appear if ON or will not be
shown if OFF.
4) Modify the volume of the tracks.
When a track is shown flashing and the assigned Sound appears in the 8 digit display zone, you can modify
the volume level by rotating the DIAL (PK7) or using the TEMPO/DATA buttons (PK5).
5) Transpose the tracks in steps of a semitone or octave.
When a track is enabled for a change (flashing), the /– buttons allow you to increase or decrease
the Octave setting of the track by one or two octaves. To obtain semitone changes, pass to page 5 (TRANSP)
of the Performance functions with the Page buttons and modify the track with the DIAL or the + and –
buttons of the Sound selection keypad.
