The Split Mode

The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard
— one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The Left Voice is
played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified "split point" key, while
the Right Voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key.
To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so that its indi-
cator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by pressing the [SPLIT]
button again so that its indicator goes out.
• The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
NOTE

Selecting the Right and Left Voices

The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged becomes
the Right Voice in the split mode. (The Right Voice can also be changed
while in the split mode, by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector.)
To select a Left Voice press the corresponding voice selector while
holding the [SPLIT] button (default: [BASS]). The indicator of the Left
Voice selector will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed, then only
the Right Voice selector and [SPLIT] button indicators will remain lit.
• The variation can be individually turned on and off for the split mode voices.
NOTE
Normally the voice indicator of the Right Voice lights in the split mode. The
[VARIATION] can be used to turn the variation for the Right Voice on or off
as required. While the [SPLIT] button is held, however, the voice indicator of
the Left Voice lights, and in this state the [VARIATION] button can be used
to turn the variation for the Left Voice on or off as required.
•
[EFFECT] in the Split Mode
Depending upon the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the
other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the
voice combination. However, using function F4 (see page 29) you can
change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/NO
L
YES ] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 18) will be
applied to the Right Voice only.
•
[REVERB] in the Split Mode
The reverb type assigned to the Right Voice will take priority over the other. (If the
reverb is set to OFF, the Left Voice's reverb type will be in affect.)
Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/NO
L
YES ] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button — see page 17) will be
applied to the Right Voice only.

Setting the Split Point

The split point is initially set at the F#2 key by default. You can
change the split point to any other key by pressing the key while holding
the [SPLIT] button (the name of the current split-point key appears on
the LED display while the [SPLIT] button is held). The split point can
also be set via the Function mode (see below).
