Editing in the Performance Mode
The Performance mode is an exceptionally powerful and flexible mode that
allows you to combine four different Voices (including both A/D inputs) and
play them from a single MIDI channel.
The potential applications of the Performance mode are enormous, and
we’ll touch on some of the main ones here. As the name suggests, the Per-
formance mode is primarily intended for live performance situations. The
four Voices can be played altogether in a huge, “fat” layer, or can be split
across the keyboard in different zones, or can be switched according to key
velocity.
A total of 200 Performances are available: 100 Preset, which are reserved
for only factory settings, and 100 Internal, to which you can save your own
original Performances.
This section takes you step-by-step through an example editing session
in the Performance mode. The operations and techniques you learn here
enable you to perform any editing operation in the Performance mode.
As with the Multi mode, the Performance mode has two separate sec-
tions that are devoted to editing: the Single/All Part controls, and the Edit
menus.
In this section, you’ll learn how to:
Use the All Part controls — to transpose the overall key of a Performance.
Use the Single Part controls — to select different Voices for the
Performance.
Use the Edit menu parameters to create a “fat” two-Voice sound.
Use the Mute/Solo button for effective editing.
Set up a keyboard split — with individual Voices playable from different
sections of the keyboard.
Set up a Performance for “playing” filter sweeps with the modulation
wheel on your keyboard.
Save your original Performance.
