Performances
The MX49/MX61 features 16 independent parts that allow for sounding multiple Voices simultaneously. Such a program
in which multiple Voices (Parts) are combined is referred to as a Performance. One Voice is assigned to each Part, and
a single Performance is the combination of 16 Voices.
You can play Parts 1 and 2 normally. The MX49/MX61 also allows you to play different Voices of Part 1 and Part 2
together in a layer (Layer function), or play one Voice of Part 2 with your left hand while you play a different Voice of Part
1 with your right (Split function).
Part 10 is conventionally used for playing Rhythm patterns. Therefore, the default Voice assigned to Part 10 is a Drum
Voice.
NOTE
You can also switch among Parts 3 – 16 and play those Voices normally one by one.
Different MIDI channels are assigned to Parts 1 – 16. Up to 16 Parts can be played simultaneously using an external
MIDI sequencer, the DAW software on the computer, or MIDI data in USB flash memory connected to the MX49/MX61.
