Chapter 2. Performance
The split point key is included
in the left-hand keyboard area.
When Split performance is
used, only tone numbers 1 or 2
can be selected.
If you use Split performance
with a Tone button for which
tone numbers 3 or 4 selected,
B7 C8
tone number 1 will be selected
for that Tone button.
When using Dual
performance, press the
[Split] button
The right hand will play the
tone of the left button of Dual
performance, and the left hand
will play a suitable match for
the right-hand tone.
For information about the
tones that can be selected for
the left hand section, refer to
the "Tone List" (p. 41).
The selected left hand tone is
remembered for each Tone
button. When you turn off the
power, it will return to the
original setting.
In Split performance, the
damper pedal will be applied
only to the right-hand area of
the keyboard. If you want the
damper pedal to be applied to
the left-hand area, refer to
"Applying the damper pedal
to the left-hand keyboard
area" (p. 35).
