All of the sequence starting-point performances share an important
trait—their parts aren’t checkmarked on the LAYER/SPLIT screen. This
means that each part sound plays separately from the other parts’, and
that realtime controls only affect the currently selected part. Checkmarked
parts are layered or act as “splits,” as described in the Workshop series
booklet

Navigation and Selection on the Mixer Screens
Though they look like real-world mixing consoles, the
Performance Mixer1 and 2 screens—just like so many other
Fantom-X screens—contain parameters whose values you can
adjust by turning the VALUE dial. Each part’s parameters are
arranged in a vertical part strip that looks like a channel strip
on a mixing console. Each part’s number appears at the top of
its strip.
If you’re unfamiliar with mixing consoles and these screens look scary, just
remember that all you have to do is understand a single part strip and
you’ll understand them all, since all 16 are exactly the same.
