Playing in Studio Mode
Studio mode is what you’ll use when recording a song. It provides
sixteen parts, and allows you to assign a patch (or rhythm set or
sample set) to each of these parts, thus allowing you to use sixteen
different sounds simultaneously.
You can use the mixer screen to adjust the level and pan for each of
the sixteen parts.
In addition to sixteen parts of the internal sound generator,
Studio mode allows you to simultaneously use parts of an
expansion board (the number of parts depends on the
expansion board) and external MIDI output parts.
A Studio set contains a patch (rhythm set, sample set) assignment for
each part, as well as settings such as volume and pan for each part.
When you play the keyboard, you’ll hear the current part.
Every part whose keyboard switch (p. 69) is on will sound. We
recommend that you leave the keyboard switch turned off. If it
is on, parts other than the current part will also sound, and this
is probably not what you want when you’re creating a song.
