The Midi Split & Left Local Off Mode; The Midi Split & Right Local Off Mode - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-154S Owner's Manual

The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode
In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal
way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha
DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator.
Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point," or the
key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key.

The MIDI Split & Right Local Off Mode
In the CLP-154S/155 either the right- or left-hand section of the keyboard can be assigned to control an exter-
nal keyboard or tone generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone generator control was described
in the previous section. To assign the right-hand section to external tone generator control while playing the
Clavinova voices with the left hand, press the [ORGAN] voice selector on the CLP-154S or the [VIBES] voice
selector on the CLP-155 instead of the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector when activating the Split mode (see
the preceding section). All other operations are exactly the same as described in the previous section.
The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano
(Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line
or string section with the left hand.
