Setting The Split Point; Setting The Chord Fingering - Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-650 Owner's Manual

Setting the Split Point

The point on the keyboard that separates the left-hand
range and the right-hand range of the keyboard is
called the "Split Point."
When a Style is selected and ACMP is on, the notes
played to the left of the Split Point are used to specify
the chord for Style playback. When the Split function
is on, the notes played to the left of the Split Point are
used to play the Split Voice.
The initial default Split Point is key number 54 (the
F#2 key), but you can change it to another key.

which are listed on the separate Data
1 (Multi Finger)
List, including "Easy Chords" (this
book, page 30).
Detects chords in the entire key
range. Chords are detected in a way
similar to 1 (Multi Finger), even if you
split the notes between your left and
right hands — for example, playing a
2 (FullKeyboard)
bass note with your left hand and a
chord with your right, or by playing a
chord with your left hand and a mel-
ody note with your right. In this mode,
Easy Chords cannot be detected.
Less than three notes can be played
3 (AI Fingered) to indicate the chords (based on the
previously played chord, etc.).
