Split Mode

Split Mode allows you to split the 88 keys into two zones so that you can have two different voices for each
of your hands. For example, you may want the Piano voice for your right hand, and the Bass voice for your
left hand. When Split Mode is enabled, the left hand voice is referred to as the Split voice.
To enable Split Mode:
1. Select the voice you would like to be in the right-hand zone.
2. Press and hold the Split button, then press one of the Voice buttons to select the Split voice for the
left-hand zone and then release the Split button to enter Split Mode. The Split button LED will be lit
when Split Mode is enabled.
3. Play the keys and you will hear that the right-hand and left-hand zones will have different voices.
To disable Split Mode, press the Split button again. The Split button LED will turn off when Split Mode is
disabled.
To set the key for where the split point between the right-hand voice and left-hand voice occurs, use the
following procedure:
1. Press and hold the Split button, and then press the key where you would like the split to occur.
2. Release the Split button to confirm the new split point.
Note: When you are using Split Mode and Layer Mode at the same time, the right-hand zone of the split will
play both layered voices, and the left-hand zone of the split will play the Split voice only.
Note: See the Advanced Functions
