Playing Different Voices with the Left and Right Hands
1
Press the VOICE PART ON/OFF [LEFT] button to turn the LEFT
part on.
2
Press the [H] button to select the LEFT part.

Select a voice group.
Here, we’ll select the “STRINGS” group — so that you can play
rich, orchestral chords with your left hand.
4
Select a voice, then press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN
display.
For example, select “Symphon. Str.”

Call up the SPLIT POINT display (page 138). From here, you can set the particular key on the keyboard that
separates the two voices — called the Split Point. To do this, simultaneously hold down the [F] or [G] button
and press the desired key on the keyboard. (For more information, see page 138.)
6
Play the voices.
The notes you play with your left hand sound one voice, while
the notes you play with your right sound a different voice (or
voices).
MAIN and LAYER voices are meant to be played with the right
hand. The LEFT voice is played with the left hand.
