Playing a Performance
In Performance Play Mode, you can select and play any of 128 internal and 64 external (Memory
Card) Performances.
A Performance is a set of Voices used with the built-in (or an external) sequencer. Performances also
let you set the synthesizer up for multitimbral operation.
Each Performance can contain up to 16 Parts assigned to different Voices, plus extra Parts for A/D
INPUT and Plug-in Boards. If the Layer Switch (Page 123) parameter is switched on for any Parts,
those Parts can be play in unison. Also, you can assign multiple Parts to different MIDI channels so
that they can be played or be controlled individually using the built-in (or an external) sequencer. Up
to 128 Performances can be stored in the internal memory and up to 64 on Memory Card. These
Performance settings are available in Performance Edit Mode (Page 111). Here, we will show how to
get started with Performance Play after selecting a Performance.

Memory
There are two Performance Memories: INT
(internal) and EXT (External). INT consists of
128 Performances divided into eight Banks (A to
H). EXT consists of 64 Performances divided into
four Banks (A to D).
INT (internal) is stored in internal Random Access
Memory (RAM) and contains factory default
Performances. These can be overwritten but can
recalled at any time.
EXT (external) is stored on a Memory Card (RAM)
inserted in the CARD slot. If there is no Memory
Card inserted and you attempt to select an EXT
Performance, “-----” will be displayed and no sound
will be produced. With a Memory Card inserted,
you can select and play EXT Performances.
