divided into right-hand and left-hand areas.

The key you pressed becomes the split point, and
belongs to the left-hand section of the keyboard.
You can also change the setting by pressing the [-] or
[+] button while continuing to hold down the [SPLIT]
button.
If you hold down the [SPLIT] button and
simultaneously press the [-] and [+] buttons, the
setting will return to its original value (F#3).

This setting returns to the original value when you
turn off the power.
In Split play, the damper pedal will be applied only to
the right-hand area of the keyboard. If you want the
damper pedal to be applied to the left-hand area, refer
to “Applying the Damper Pedal to the Left Keyboard
Area” (p. 28).
