Realtime Operations - GEM RP220 Owner's Manual

Realtime operations

The RP220 operating system has been conceived to permit several
simple and quick real time operations.
• Activate Split mode
Starting from the Single Preset "GrandPiano", you can easily split the
keyboard by pressing the SPLIT button. This will divide the keyboard into
separate left and right sections.
<------- Ac. Bass ------><--------- GrandPiano --------->
After pressing the SPLIT button (the LED turns on), the GrandPiano
sound remains active on the right side of the split. An Acoustic Bass
sound is automatically assigned on the left side of the split.
If you press the SPLIT button again, the LED will turn off and the keyboard
returns to the previous mode with the GrandPiano sound active to play
across the entire keyboard.
• Change the sound assigned to a Split
When you press the SPLIT button, the display shows the sound assigned
to the left split together with the current split point setting:
Left Split sound
If you press the SPLIT button, the display returns to normal showing the
starting situation (in this case the GrandPiano display).
1. Press the SPLIT button.
2. Press the DATA +/– buttons to scroll the various sounds.
In this case, pressing the DATA + button will change the sound
assigned to the left keyboard section from Ac.Bass to RideBass,
then to El.Bass and so on, cyclically through the entire Sound data
base (see the Sound Program table on page 31 of this manual).
Clearly, if you use the DATA – button, you can scroll the sounds in
reverse order.
