Selecting Sounds
The Concert Performer has over 600 instrument and drum sounds available from the front panel.
You can freely assign any of these sounds to the three Parts. Remember that there is always a sound
assigned to each of the Parts, even if some of the Parts are not currently active.
The sounds span a tremendous variety of instruments, ranging from traditional acoustic sounds to
modern electronic tones. To help you quickly find the sound that you want, the sounds have been
organized into 14 categories. Each category has a dedicated Sound Selection button on the front
panel.
To select a Sound:
1) In the main play screen, select the Part to which you wish to assign a new sound using the L3, or R2-
R3 buttons. The selected Part will become highlighted.
2) Press the SOUND button for the sound category that you are interested in. The first page of sounds in
that category will be displayed. There are at least three pages of sounds in each category. Use the
F1-5 buttons to view the other pages in a category.
3) Select a sound by pressing the L or R button that is next to the displayed name.
4) Press the F1-F5 buttons to show the Sounds on the other pages for the same category.
5) You can also use the Dial to scroll through all of the categories and sounds one by one.
