Performance
A Performance is typically made up of multiple Voices, allowing you to sound them together in various ways. For
example, you can play a richly textured sound on the keyboard by combining two Voices (of Parts 1 and 2), or play
multiple Parts simultaneously by using an external sequencer or MIDI data. This section explains all the Performance
parameters, divided into six categories (Performance Play, Performance Select, Performance Part Select, Performance
Edit, Performance Job, and Performance Store).
Performance Play
This corresponds to the top or main display of the instrument. In this display, you can select/play Part 1 or Part 2, play
different Voices of Parts 1 and 2 together in a layer (Layer function), or play one Voice of Part 2 with your left hand while
you play a different Voice of Part 1 with your right (Split function).

Performance number
The selected Performance number is always displayed in this three-digit display. When editing Performance

Store function (

is active, this icon appears to the right of both Parts, since both Parts will sound. When the Split function is active, the
