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 SELECT 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. 35).
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 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. 42).
The selected left hand tone is 
remembered for each TONE 
SELECT button. When you 
turn off the power, it will 
return to the original setting.
