Changing The Sounds On The Left And Right (Split); Playing In Time With The Metronome - Korg EK-50L Owner's Manual

Changing the sounds on the left and
right (split)
You can divide the keyboard into a high note range (for upper
1–3 parts) and a low note range (for lower part). This is called a
split function, and the key where the sound changes (the next
note directly below the upper part) is called the split point.
Turn the split function on when you want to play different
sounds with your left and right hands. You can also change the
sounds for each part (see page 12 "Changing sounds").
