Making a Performance from scratch
Lets try a complete step by step example.
The aim is to make a combination of E. Piano 1, (without variation) and Choir Variation 1. We need the Choir
sound to be about half the volume of the Electric Piano. We will add some hall reverb to the sound but we
need to have much more reverb on the Choir than on the Electric Piano. When we have finished making this
sound combination, we will store it in performance B1.
1. Switch the instrument on, (just to be sure that we are really starting from scratch.)
2. While holding E. Piano 1, press Choir.
This mixes the basic E Piano 1 sound with the basic Choir sound. Now we need to select Choir variation 1
without changing the piano.
3. Use the PAGE buttons so that the arrow in the display appears next to the Choir sound.
4. Press the VAR button to select variation 1.
Now let’s add the reverb effect.
5. Repeatedly press the REVERB button until the HALL effect is selected.
At this stage we have mixed our two sounds and selected the effect. This gives us a basic combination. We
now need to edit the combination so that each sound has a different volume level and a different amount of
reverb.
6. Press PERF EDIT
7. If you do not see page 1, use the page buttons to step back to it.
8. Adjust the volume of the E. Piano 1 sound to maximum.
9. Now page forward to Page 1b, (volume for the Choir sound.)
10. Adjust the level to about 64.
11. Use the page buttons to select REVERB SEND for the piano, (Page 2.)
12. Choose a small value such as 40 or 50.
13. Now move to page 2b - REVERB SEND for the Choir.
14. Choose a high value such as 100.
This completes the editing.
15. Press PERF EDIT to turn it off.
Let’s now store this sound combination into performance B1.
16. Press STORE
17. Press “B”, (PIANO 2 button)
18. Press “1”, (HARPSI button)
That’s it. To recall this sound combination at any time, simply switch to PERFORMANCE mode and press
“B” followed by “1”.
