The

The

isbased on

the

use

of

a digitally

of

generating nine voices.

A

thereby

ma

the

Of extreme importance

in

live playing are the PERFORMANCE

REGISTRATIONS which,

by

means

of

the

allow

Thanks

to

MULTISPlrT,It

is possibleto divide

the

keyboard

into

eight

sections,

each

with

it'

This

permitsthe connection
