16 OVERVIEW
Bank/Songs and Performances
The Sounds can be combined to form “Performances”,
and stored in slots called “Bank/Songs”.
Up to 10 Banks of 10 Performances each can be memo-
rised in the Music Processor’s RAM, a total of 100
multi-timbral Performances.
Performance
The Performance is a combination of several tracks with
various “playing” parameters (volume, pan, programmed
pedal configuration, DSP activation.....).
In the Performance, a Sound and/or a MIDI OUT chan-
nel is assigned to each Track. For each Track, it is
possible to independently programme various param-
eters ( example: the volume and pan).
In practice, the Performance is a combination of several
Sounds “mixed” in order to obtain a complex sound to
use live, or a multi-timbral combination to use in a
Song, or another multi-timbral combination that can be
controlled by data received at MIDI In.
The Performance, therefore, is a “global setting” corre-
sponding to a complex instrumental setup, recalled in-
stantly while playing or while recording a Song.
Bank/Song
The Bank/Song consists of two parts: a bank of 10
Performances and a Song. The Song exploits the Per-
formances of the Bank to which it is associated.
The sequencer controls which control the Song play-
back are situated under the display:

The Music Processor can store up to 10 Bank/Songs in
RAM.
Tracks
The Track playing mode
Each Performance consists of a maximum of 16 tracks which
can be arranged in various different ways. The way in which
the tracks can be arranged is called the “playing mode”.
There are four track playing modes:
• single is a single track situation;
• multi is a multitrack combination;
• layer is an overlapping paired track combination;
• split is a combination of two tracks which divide the
keyboard.
Each Performance can simultaneously memorise four
different track playing modes, one for each of the four
possible origins (Sources) of MIDI events (Source s.
further ahead).
For example, the Track playing mode for the Local
Source could be set to Single mode, in order to play a
piano Sound with the keyboard; for the Song Source, the
Track playing mode could be set to Multi, so that the
internal sequencer could play a 16 part multi-timbral
song.
To view the playing mode set for each Source, press the
relative button in the “Source” section: by pressing one
