Shifting the Keyboard Pitch in Octave Steps
(Octave Shift)

When the keyboard has been set up so that the right-hand and left-hand
parts play different sounds (Split Play ➝ p. 55) or so that the sounds for two
instruments are played in combination (Layer Play ➝ p. 53), you can shift
the pitch of the notes you play by an octave at a time. This function is called
“Octave Shift.”

For instance, you can make the pitch of the keyboard’s left-hand part match
the pitch of the right-hand part during Split Play. Or, you could change the
pitch of each tone, and play both tones together during Layer Play.
