and Right Hands (Split Play)

Dividing the keyboard into right-hand and left-hand areas, then playing different

sounds in each is called “Split play.” The boundary key is called the “split point.”

Press the [Split] button.

The button’s indicator will light.

The keyboard is divided into right-hand and left-hand areas.

The tone played on the right side is the tone in use before the [Split] button is

pressed, while the bass tone is played on the left side.

To cancel Split play, press the [Split] button, getting its indicator to go dark.

Changing tone played by the left hand

Press the [Variation] button.

Each time you press the [Variation] button, the button’s indicator will change color,

and the left-hand tone will change.

Some tones assign the tone that had been selected before you pressed the [Split]

button to the left hand area of the keyboard.

Changing tone played by the right hand

Press the Tone button.

The tone of the right-hand area will change. A tone that is a suitable match for the

right-hand tone will be selected for the left-hand area.

If you want to change the variation for the right-hand tone, cancel Split play and then

re-select the tone.

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-hand Keyboard
Area” (p. 42).

The split point key is included

in the left-hand keyboard area.

When using Dual play,
press the [Split] button
The right hand will play the
tone of the left button of Dual
play, and the left hand will
play a suitable match for the
right-hand tone.

When Split play is used, only
tone numbers 1 or 2 can be
selected.
If you use Split play with a
Tone button for which tone
numbers 3 or 4 selected, tone
number 1 will be selected for
that Tone button.

For information about the
tones that can be selected for
the left hand section, refer to
the “Tone List” (p. 50).

The selected left hand tone is
remembered for each Tone
button. When you turn off the
power, it will return to the
original setting.
