2 Change tonal color.
Moving the Knobs changes various aspects of the
Voice’s sound in real time—while you play.
When one of the TONE 1, TONE 2 or ARP FX lamps are
lit, the eight Knobs are used to control the
corresponding functions as printed on the panel (the
same as in the Voice mode). For details, see page 90.
When one of the REVERB, CHORUS or PAN lamps are
lit, the following functions are assigned to the four
leftmost Knobs.
n If the [E] (Edit) indicator appears at the top right of the
display when you adjust the Knobs, the current
Performance can be stored (page 142) as a new User
Performance.
Using Sliders
The far left four sliders adjust the volume for each of four
Parts. Each of the Control Sliders 1 – 4 corresponds to the
same numbered Part. The status of the sliders is shown on
the display.
The Performance Play display
You can call up the Performance Play display by pressing
the [PERFORM] button.

Performance. A Bank is a memory location that includes
data of 128 different Performances. Three Banks (User 1 –

assigned to a Performance Number of 001 to 128.
Performance Numbers 001 to 128 are converted to the
format (shown in parentheses) of Banks A to H and
Numbers 1 to 16 (for the Bank). This format corresponds to
the Group buttons [A] – [H] and the Number buttons [1] –
[16]. The Performance Numbers and the corresponding
Group/Numbers are listed below.
3 Category (Main Category <Sub Category>)
Indicates the Category of the selected Performance.
“Category,” consisting of Main Category and Sub
Category, is a keyword that indicates the instrument
characteristics or the type of sound. Each Performance
can be registered to a Main Category and its Sub
Category. The Category settings can be edited in the
General display (page 143) of the Performance Common
Edit mode.
4 Performance name
Indicates the name of the current Performance.
