Performance, Tracks and Rom Sounds
◆ Press ENTER:
◆ Press ENTER again to confirm the Save Performance command. The modified
Real Time Performance will remain in memory until you modify it again or turn
off the instrument.
What parameters do the Performances memorise?
The amount of data memorised by a Performance is understandably immense, consid-
ering that you only need to press one button on the control panel to set the instrument to
the required playing mode.
The data memorised:
The Performance name, the “track configuration” and a set of specific data for every
memorised track, including the individual volume settings and MIDI In and Out
channels, the Out port, the track status (Local/MIDI In/Off, etc.), the destination
(Internal Sound engine or external on MIDI Out) and other parameters which include the
playing mode (poly/mono), the track transpose and tuning status, the aftertouch status
(on/off) and many others which are explained further ahead.
How the Performances of the playing modes differ
The Performances associated to the various playing modes differ in several aspects:
If you want to play Sounds in real time, you must select a REAL TIME
PERFORMANCE - this recalls one or more Sounds (up to 16, one
assigned to each track) together with a precise setting of all the
elements of the panel which the Real Time Performance can memo-
rise.
To play a Rhythm and automatic Arrangement, you must select an INTERNAL
STYLE or a PROGRAMMABLE STYLE - these recall a series of
pre-recorded accompaniment patterns (Riffs - repeating patterns for
the Major, Minor, 7th chords, etc.) as well as a related setting of all the
parameters of the panel which the Style Performance can memorise.
To play a pre-recorded musical sequence, you must select a SONG - this recalls
a musical sequence based on a multi-timbral recording (up to 16
sounds) as well as up to 8 different settings of the parameters of the
panel (SONG PERFORMANCES), which can be recalled during the
execution of the Song.
N.B. Another mode, called the SONG STYLE, is also available, offering the
possibility of recording (and playing back) a Song by exploiting the existing
automatic accompaniment structures (Styles). This mode is explained in detail in
the relevant chapter further ahead.
