I suffer from incomprehensible manual syndrom. Could someone please give me a hand understanding how to create a new Performance?

I wish to create a new Performance which will use patches from an expansion board I have installed. The manual says to first select the patches you want for the new performance (ok so far) but then says to select the performance you wish to use?? I don't wish to use one of the existing performances, I wish to creat an entirely new one and then store it on my smart media card. But I can find no instructions on how to create a new performance; only instructions on how to rename one.

How do I go about this?? Could someone please take me through the steps? I have read all the messages in the archives on this and a number of other boards including all of their FAQ files and can find nothing that addresses this. (Perhaps its simple and I'm stupid?)

At any rate, I sure would appreciate being enlightened otherwise I might eat the manual (maybe it might have some value as a food source).

Many thanks in advance.
