Performance memory structure
This instrument features 128 Performances in User Memory, which can be overwritten (
). To store an edited
Performance, you need to overwrite one of the memory locations 1 – 128.
Editing a Performance and the Voices
You can create your own original sounds by editing the Performance and Voice parameters. In Performance Edit, you
can edit both the parameters unique to each Part (Part parameters) and parameters common to all Parts (Common
parameters). In Voice Edit, you can edit the parameters that are related to the entire Voice. Voice Edit is available only
for Voices assigned to the Performance Parts.
When editing the Voice, make sure to store it as a User Voice separate from the Performance. Keep in mind that even
when you store a Performance, the Voice parameters are not stored.
Maximum Polyphony
Maximum polyphony refers to the highest number of notes that can be sounded simultaneously from the internal
tone generator of the instrument. The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128. When the internal tone
generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut
off. Keep in mind this may be especially noticeable with Voices not having decay. Furthermore, when Normal
Voices that include multiple waves are used, the maximum number of simultaneous notes is less than 128.
