A Voice is the main sound of the MOTIF, made up of a variety of parameter settings. Each Voice can consist of up to
four separate Elements, each of which is a high-quality wave, or basic sound.
A Performance, on the other hand, is a program in which multiple Voices (parts) are combined — in a layer, or in
other configurations. Each Performance can contain up to four different Parts.
