Four Hands Mode

Four Hands Mode 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. This function is intended to allow two people
to practise together or perform piano duets using a single instrument.
1. Entering Four Hands mode
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press the damper pedal.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will start to flash to
indicate that Four Hands mode is in use.
* The default four hands mode split point is set between keys E4 and F4.
The LED indicator for the PIANO1 button will turn on, and the "SK
ConcertGrand" sound will automatically be selected for both the
upper and lower sections.

the right (sustain) and left (soft) pedals will function as independent
