A Performance is simply a memory location in which a sound or combination of sounds has been stored. Usually, when you use an instrument like the RealPiano Expander, you will spend some time experimenting with different single sounds or combinations of sounds, different effects etc. , until you really get the instrument sounding the way you want. At this stage, the instrument allows you to store all of the settings and changes which you have made into a memory called a PERFORMANCE. The RealPiano Expander contains 64 programmable Performances. All of these have been programmed at the factory in order to provide you with various examples of sound combinations. You can also re-program these Performances to your liking in order to obtain custom sound combinations. Selecting the Performances While the procedure for making and storing a performance is covered in the "Quick study guide" section of this manual, you might be interested in listening to some of those which we have created for you (default Perfs). To recall these performances you need to switch from SOUNDS mode to PERF mode using the MODE button. MODE PERFORMANCE: A1 GRAND PIANO Once in PERF mode, you can select the factory performances by either using the PERF/SOUND ­/+ buttons (direct panel selection method), or by transmitting Program Change messages to RealPiano Expander from the controlling device on the Expander's Common channel. The 64 performances are stored in 8 banks A - H. To return to SOUNDS mode, press MODE again. RealPiano Expander Page 18 Changing the pitch of the instrument Transpose The TRANSPOSE b/# buttons are located to the left of the page Up/Down buttons. TRANSPOSE Pressing either button will adjust the pitch of the instrument in half-step (semitone) increments, up to a maximum of ± 12 semitones (1 octave). Each press of the Transpose b (flat) button will reduce the pitch of the instrument by one half step. Each press of the Transpose # (sharp) button will increase the pitch of the instrument by one half step. In this way it is possible to play a piece in one particular key and transpose the instrument to sound in a different key. When you use the Transpose buttons, the amount of transposition is displayed in the screen. For example, if you were to press the Transpose # button three times, the display would show a transpose value of "3" together with the note symbol showing the new value (C=D#). This indicates that each note played would be pitch shifted up by three half steps. If you now play in the key of C, the instrument would sound in the key of D# (Eb). If you play in F, the instrument would sound in G# (Ab) and so on. . . . TRANSPOSE 3 C=D# The current Transpose setting can be cancelled by pressing both TRANSPOSE buttons together.
