Chapter 1. An Overview of the SH-32
Performances (1-1–8-8)
A combination of four Patches, or of three Patches and a Rhythm Set,
is called a Performance. The SH-32 contains 64 Performances; all of
these are User Performances that can be overwritten at will.
With Performances, four separate tones are handled simultaneously,
thus allowing you to enjoy playing ensemble performances or
performances using lush tones.

Part
A Part is the place to which a Patch or Rhythm Set is assigned when
using the SH-32 in Performance mode. A single Performance
comprises four Parts, with a Patch being assigned to each Part. You
can also assign a Rhythm Set to only Part 4.
• Since Performances store only information such as the Patch
numbers used by individual Parts, they do not contain any
actual sound parameter settings. Accordingly, if you modify any
content saved to a Patch, it affects the sound of every
Performance in which that Patch is used.
• Other than switching them on and off and adjusting the levels,
no settings are made for the two effects processors (INS-FX,
REV/DELAY) in the Performance itself. INS-FX (Insertion
Effects) and REV/DELAY (Reverb/Delay) are each specified in
Parts (p. 66), and the effect settings in the Patches assigned to
those Parts are treated as the effect settings for the Performance
as a whole.
