Selecting and playing the sounds
The MO provides three different types of programs for playing the sounds: Voices, Performances, Songs,
and Patterns. The basic difference among these programs is in their use—for playing the keyboard, or for
creating music with multiple parts.
You can choose from 128 different Voices, Performances, Songs, and Patterns in the Master mode. To
change the desired Master number, use the [INC/ YES] button, [DEC/NO] button, or the Data dial.
Change the Master number, and then try playing the various Voices or Performance types. When a Voice is
assigned to the selected Master number, “Voice” will appear at the top of the display. When a Performance
is assigned, “Performance” will appear in the display.
n You can also choose some Songs and Patterns in the Master mode. For details about Songs and Patterns, see page 73.
As you play the various Voices and Performances, notice the differences between them—especially how
some Performances sound exceptionally rich and more complex than Voices. Note also how many
Performances use automatic rhythms and Arpeggios—along with keyboard split sounds—to let you sound
like an entire band all by yourself!
Here, we’ve introduced the operations in the Master mode that is called up first when turning the power on.
The MO has other modes of operation as well. In the next section, we’ll explain about the modes of the MO
and how they are used.
For playing the keyboard
Voice
This program contains a
basic instrument sound,
such as a piano, guitar,
bass guitar, drum kit, etc.
Performance
This program allows you to
combine several Voices
together—either in a richly
textured layer, or separately
(as in different sections of
the keyboard) for playing
several different parts
simultaneously.
For creating music of multiple parts
Song
This is a program consisting
of recorded keyboard
performance data, and/or
patterns created in the
Pattern mode.
Pattern
This is a program that
consists of individually
created phrases or patterns
of short duration (generally
two or four measures), used
for certain parts in a song—
such as the intro, main
melody or chorus.
