Four Hands Mode

The Four Hands Mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of the Split Mode

function. However, with Four Hands Mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each section is automatically adjusted to

create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range. Furthermore, the damper (right) pedal and

soft (left) pedal act as separate damper pedals for the respective upper and lower sections, allowing two people to

perform piano duets using a single instrument.
