Playing A Piano Duet - Casio Celviano AP-250 User Manual

Playing a Piano Duet

You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano's
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
The left and right side keyboards have virtually the
same range. The left pedal operates as the left side
damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side
damper pedal.
This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for
example, the teacher can play on the left and the
student can follow along on the right. Or one person
can play the left hand part on the left, while another
plays the right hand part on the right.

Changing the Octaves of the duet
keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right
keyboards in octave units from their initial default
settings. This comes in handy, for example, if the initial
default range is not enough when one person is
playing the left hand part and another person is
playing the right hand part.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION and
METRONOME buttons, press the keyboard C
key that you want located at C4 (middle C) of
the left keyboard.
Example:
Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C (C4)
will assign the range shown below.
Left keyboard

(Pressed key)
1 octave higher than initial
setting

While holding down the FUNCTION and
