Split Mode - Yamaha P-200 Owner's Manual

As you move the [DATA ENTRY] slider, the DUAL DETUNE screen appears.
DUAL DETUNE
You can set the detune to any value between 0 (no detuning) and 7 (maximum
detuning). Moving the slider upwards increases the detune value. Conversely,
moving the slider downwards decreases the detune value.
2. Release the [DETUNE] button.
After a moment, the Dual voice names will reappear in the screen.
If you select different Dual voices, the detune relationship will remain the same
as determined above, until you change the detune setting again.
Main and Sub Voice Detune Relationship
When you detune two voices in Dual mode, the main voice is raised above the
keyboard's standard pitch by a certain amount and the sub voice is lowered below
the keyboard's standard pitch by an equal amount. The result is that the individual
characteristics of each Dual voice are emphasized. The amount of pitch adjustment
depends on the value you select. At the maximum detune setting, the voices are
each detuned by about one-third of a semitone.

Split Mode

When the P-200 is in Split mode, you can play two voices at the same time—one
voice on the left side of the keyboard, and another voice on the right side of the
keyboard. For example, you can play a strings pad with one hand, while playing a
piano melody with the other; or you can play an upright bass line with your left hand,
while playing an organ riff with your right hand.
The two voices you play in Split mode are referred to as the main and sub voices.
These voices are assigned to separate areas of the keyboard, known as the main
and sub keyboard areas, which are separated at a specific key known as the split
point.
You can determine the split point and assign the main and sub voices to either end
of the keyboard. You can also adjust the volume balance of the two voices in relation
to each other (for details, see page 34.)
