Programming Your Own Performance Combinations

A single TG500 “performance combination” can have one, two, three, or

four “layers,” each having a different voice and several other important
attributes.

In addition to the individual attributes that can be programmed for each

layer, overall characteristics such as volume, effects, and the performance name
can also be programmed.

Layers can be played simultaneously across the entire keyboard, limited to

specific ranges to create split keyboard setups, or overlapped in any way re-
quired. It’s also possible to use “velocity switching” to assign different velocity
ranges to different layers so that, for example, one voice sounds when you play
softly and a completely different voice takes over (or overlaps the first voice)
when you play harder.
