Playing in Performance Mode

In Performance mode you can play the sounds of all parts whose
Keyboard Switch is on, and all connected parts. Combining the parts
will produce, thicker, fatter sounds.

parts that are connected to the parts you want to play.

6.

Press [F6 (CLOSE)] to return to the PERFORM LAYER

screen.

In Performance mode you can divide the keyboard and play a
different patch in each area (this is called “split”). As the note range
that plays each part can be specified individually, you can split the
keyboard into a maximum of 16 sections.

For instance, you can play strings in the lower range, piano in the
upper range, and both sounds in the middle range.

A split performance is one application of a layer. Changing the
key range of each part in the layer results in a split.

By specifying sections for different parts so that they overlap
each other, you can combine two or more parts only in a specific
section.
