Playing in Performance mode

There are Single and Layer Performances. The “Key

Mode:LAYER” indication under the Performance name rep-

resents Layer Performance, while the “Key Mode:SINGLE”

indication represents Single Performance.

Layer Performance allows playing two or more Parts simul-

taneously on the keyboard. Select Layer Performance if you

want fat, rich sounds of two or more Patches, or play differ-

ent Patches in a split keyboard’s different sections.

Single Performance plays only the Part shown in the display

(current Part). Select Single Performance for playing a song

using two or more instruments.

✳ Make your Performance type selection with the Key

Mode parameter (PERFORM/Common/Common) .

The Key Mode parameter determines how the XP-80

keyboard will play the internal sound source. It has no

effect on how the XP-80 sound source is played from

the built-in sequencer or an external MIDI device.

Selecting a Performance

The XP-80 offers three groups of Performances (User, Presets

A and B) with each group having 32 Performances. A total of
