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, RIGHT1, RIGHT2,
and RIGHT3, and each one has an instrument sound assigned to it. You can selectively turn on/off any combination
of these four Parts, allowing you to have up to four different sounds at the same time across the keyboard.
Sound assigned to Parts RIGHT1 and RIGHT2 will be layered on top of each other when both parts are active at
the same time. When the RIGHT3 part is activated, the sound assigned to the RIGHT3 part will be layered with
the RIGHT1 and RIGHT2 parts. The RIGHT3 part can also be set to split the keyboard so that the sound assigned
to the RIGHT3 Part is only heard when you play above a specified key (split point) on the keyboard. See RIGHT3
Settings on page 107 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:
RIGHT1 is currently active
RIGHT3, RIGHT2, LEFT are inactive.
