Split Mode

Split Mode allows you to split the 61 keys into two zones so that you can have two different voices
for each of your hands. For example, you may want the Acoustic Piano voice for your right hand and
the Bass voice for your left hand. When Split Mode is enabled, the left-hand voice is referred to as
the Split voice.
To enable Split Mode:
1. Select the voice that you would like to be in the right-hand zone.
2. Press and hold the Split button and then press one of the Voice buttons to select the Split voice
for the left-hand zone. Release the Split button to enter Split Mode. The Split button LED will be
lit when Split Mode is enabled.
3. Play the keys and you will hear that the right-hand and left-hand zones have different voices.
To disable Split Mode, press the Split button again. The Split button LED will turn off when Split
Mode is disabled.
To set the key for the split point between the right-hand voice and left-hand voice, use the
following procedure:
1. Press and hold the Split button, and then press the key where you would like the split to occur.
2. Release the Split button to confirm the new split point.
Note: When you are using Split Mode and Layer Mode at the same time, the right-hand zone will
play both layered voices, and the left-hand zone will play the Split voice only.
