Playing Two Tones On The Keyboard; Dividing The Keyboard Into Separate Ranges And Playing Different Tones In Each (Split) - Roland RS-5 Owner's Manual

Playing Two Tones on the Keyboard

The setting that determines whether one or two Tones are played by a key
is referred to as "Key Mode." There are three Key modes.
Single: The same Tone is played by all keys on the keyboard. This is the
normal playing mode.
Split: One key acts as the division point (the "split point") separating the
keyboard into left- and right-hand sides, with a different Tone
played in each.
Two Tones can be layered together.

Tone Number
In Split, two Parts are used. These are referred to as the "Upper Part" and
the "Lower Part." The tone data for the currently selected parts appears in
the display.
The above figure shows an example where Part 1 is used for the Upper Part,
and Part 16 is used for the Lower Part.
The split point is set to C4 at the factory. The upper range of the keyboard,
including C4, plays the tone in the Upper Part, and the Lower Part Tone is
played in the range below C4.
