Performance Song/Pattern File Utility Remote Reference 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). Operation Call up Performance Play display by pressing [EXIT] repeatedly  Select Part 1/2 with Cursor [V]/[E] buttons  Select Voice with [DATA] dial.

When a category contains User Voices, the User Voices are listed after the Preset Voices of the category. A cursor (>) is displayed between the Voice category and number of the selected Part.  2 (Edit) indicator When the Voice assigned to Part 1 or Part 2 has been modified, this indicator appears to the right of the Voice name. This gives a quick confirmation that the Voice has been modified but not yet stored. When you want to store the current status, execute the Voice Store function (page 53).  Keyboard icon When playing the keyboard, this icon appears to the right of the Part that is currently sounding. When the Layer function is active, this icon appears to the right of both Parts, since both Parts will sound. When the Split function is active, the icon appears at Part 1 when you play the right side of the keyboard (right of the Split Point; page 45), and appears at Part 2 when you play the left side.
