Editing the Settings
With this method, you can play all the parts of a band by
yourself. With the MODX+, you can assign different
Arpeggio types to each of the eight Parts in a Performance.
For example, you could assign four different Arpeggio types
to four Parts, as shown below, so that Bass Arpeggios are
played on the lower range of the keyboard, Guitar and Piano
Arpeggios on the upper range, and Drum Arpeggios on all
ranges of the keyboard. Then, by simply playing the
appropriate ranges of the keyboard, you can add full,
dynamic accompaniment to your performance.
In addition, you can change the Arpeggio Type assignment
from [Motion Control]
 [Arpeggio] on the display, allowing
you to set different Arpeggio Types for the intro, verse,
chorus, and ending of your song.
Using or combining the four methods described above gives
you the ability to create a rich variety of Performances. By
default, many Performances stored in the Preset Banks have
been created via the above methods. Try out various
Performances and see which method is used for each.
Creating a Performance by
combining Parts
After checking out the pre-programmed Performances in the
Preset Banks, try creating your own original Performance. In
this section, we’ll create a Performance by combining two
Parts.
Selecting a Performance
For demonstration purposes, we’ll assign a piano sound to
Part 1.
1 Move the cursor to the Part name of the Part 1
on the Performance Play display and press
the [CATEGORY] button while holding down
the [SHIFT] button.
The Part Category Search display appears.
2 Select [Full Concert Grand] from the
Performance list.
3 Press the [EXIT] button.
Playing several Parts together (Layer)
Try combining two Parts by assigning a favorite Part to
Part 2.
1 Move the cursor to the Part name of the Part 2
on the Performance Play display and select
the desired sound by pressing the
[CATEGORY] button while holding down the
[SHIFT] button.
2 Play the keyboard.
The Part 1 (Piano) and Part 2 (the sound you have
selected above) are sounded simultaneously in a layer.
3 Press the [EXIT] button.
Next, let’s play different Parts with the left and right hands.
