This is the same as the Performance created earlier, but with the addition of another Part for live playback. Regarding settings, the important points are as follows. • In the Performance created earlier, Parts 2, 3 and 10 were being used. As an example, we will now assign another Part (Part 1) to a solotype Voice. • At the LYR Mode screen, set the Layer parameter for Part 1 to "on," and make sure it is set to "off" for Parts 2, 3 and 10. If you want to manually play multiple (up to four) Parts using some Voices from Parts 4 to 9, 11 to 16 and Plug-in Parts, set those Parts' Layer Switch parameters to "on." • At the GEN MIDI screen, set the LayerCh (Layer Channel) parameter to BasicCh.

If you choose the wrong type of input source, you may possibly damage your hearing and/or any connected audio equipment. Make sure you set this parameter correctly. • Turn the [GAIN] knob (Page 11) all the way down, then connect a microphone to the A/D INPUT jack (MIC/LINE2 jack).

When you play a song file bearing the XG/GM logo (available in the market), you may want to install an optional XG Plug-in Board on the instrument, to enjoy Therefore, while the song is playing back the piano, bass and drums, you simultaneously play a solo live and sing into the microphone. Effects such as reverb can be added to the A/D Input Part (Pages 130 and 137), so you can assign an effect suited to a best playback quality with a wide variety of Voices and Effects. Note that you can install an additional XG Plug-in Board to double polyphonic notes and Effects.

Or you could play back a harmony line using a sequencer to create a backing chorus for your vocals. 73
