Performances

This instrument 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. This instrument 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 instrument.
