Playing the Keyboard in the Performance mode
velocities triggers Strings sounds with a fast attack speed.
Playing the note with high velocities triggers Orchestra Hits.
With this method, you can play all the parts of a band by
yourself. This type of Performance also uses different
Arpeggio types assigned to the individual Parts, making it
even easier to sound like a full band. In the example below,
the Drum pattern (by Arpeggio) will be played back
indefinitely even when you release the notes, the Bass line
(by Arpeggio) will be played back by your left hand
performance, and the Guitar backing (by Arpeggio) or Piano
Arpeggio will be played back by your right hand
performance.
In addition, you can change the Arpeggio Type assignment
for each Part by pressing any of the [SF1] – [SF5] buttons.
Using or combining the four methods described above gives
you the ability to create a rich variety of Performances. By
default, many Performances stored in the User Banks may
be created via the above methods. Try out various
Performances and see which method is used for each.
Creating a Performance by
combining Voices
After checking out the pre-programmed Performances in the
User Banks, try creating your own original Performance. In
this section, we’ll create a Performance by combining two
Voices.
Preparing to create a Performance
(Initializing the Performance)
1 In the Performance Play mode, press the [JOB]
button, and then the [F1] button.
The Initialize display is shown. Make sure that the check box
of “All Parameters” is checked.
2 Press the [ENTER] button. (The display prompts
you for confirmation.)
3 Press the [INC/YES] button to initialize the
Performance.
4 Press the [PERFORM] button.
The current Performance name will change to “Initialized
Perform” in the display.
NOTE
When you initialize a Performance, the Voice at Preset Bank
1, Voice number 1 is assigned to each of all Parts and all the
Parts are turned on by default.
Playing several Voices together (Layer)
Try combining two Voices by assigning your favorite Voice to
Part 2.
1 In the Performance Play display, press the [F2]
button to call up the Voice display.
From this display, you can confirm what Voices are assigned
to the Parts. You can also confirm that all the Parts are
turned on after executing the Initialize function above.
2 Move the cursor to the checkbox of the PART 2
then press the [INC/YES] button to enter the
checkmark.
3 Move the cursor to the VOICE, then select the
desired Voice by setting a Bank and Voice number.
NOTE From this display, you can use the Category Search function
to select a Voice. Like in the Voice mode, use the
[CATEGORY SEARCH] button. Please note that the category
names printed below the Bank buttons correspond not to
the Performance Category but to the Voice Category.
4 Play the keyboard.
The Part 1 (Piano Voice) and Part 2 (the Voice you have
selected above) are sounded simultaneously in a layer.
Next, let’s play different Voices with the left and right hands.
Split
You can play different Voices with the left and right hands by
assigning one Voice to Part 1, with a note range in the lower
section of the keyboard, and a different Voice to Part 2, with
a note range in the higher section of the keyboard.
1 Move the cursor to the NOTE LIMIT HI of Part 1.
2 Set the highest note of Part 1 by pressing the
corresponding key while holding the [SF6] KBD
button.
The illustration of the keyboard indicates the specified note
range in color.
