Playing the keyboard in
the Performance Mode
A program in which multiple Voices (parts) are combined in
a layer, or in other configurations is referred to as a
“Performance.” This instrument contains 128 Performances
in each of the User Banks 1 – 2 and you can play them by
pressing the [PERFORM] button.
Selecting a Performance
Selecting a Performance is done in basically the same way
as selecting a Voice (see page 25). As in the Voice Play
mode, you can use the Category Search (page 26) and
Favorite Category (page 26) functions in the Performance
Play mode.
Switching a Part on/off
The Performance Play mode lets you turn the four Parts of
the current Performance on or off as desired.
You can turn individual Parts on/off by using the Mute function.
1
Press the [PERFORMANCE CONTROL] button.
The button lamp lights, indicating that each Part can be
turned on/off.
2
Press any of the Number [9] – [12] buttons.
The lamp of the pressed button will be turned off and the
corresponding Part will be muted. Press the same button
again to turn the lamp on and disengage the mute function
for that Part. You can turn multiple Parts on/off by pressing
their buttons.
NOTE
Parts can be muted also by pressing the [MUTE] button then
the Number [1] – [4] buttons.
The Solo function is the opposite of Mute, and lets you instantly
solo a specific Part and mute all others.
1
Press the [SOLO] button.
The SOLO lamp lights, indicating that Solo is enabled.
2
Press any of the Number [1] – [4] buttons.
The lamp of the pressed button will flash and only the
corresponding Part will be sounded. Press any other Number
button to change the solo Part.
NOTE
You can exit from this status by pressing the [TRACK] button
or [PERFORMANCE CONTROL] button.
Using the Arpeggio function
The Arpeggio function lets you trigger rhythm patterns, riffs
and phrases using the current Voice by simply playing notes
on the keyboard. In the Performance mode, each of four
Arpeggio types is assigned to each of four Parts. This means
four Arpeggio types can be played back simultaneously. Try
selecting different Performances and check out the various
Arpeggio types.
NOTE
For details about Arpeggio, see the “Reference Manual” PDF
document.
Since the preset Performances already have their own
Arpeggio types pre-assigned, you can play the Arpeggio by
selecting the desired Performance, turning on the ARP [ON/
OFF] button, then pressing any note. Instructions on using
Arpeggio are basically the same as in the Voice mode.
