4Hands

The 4Hands keyboard mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of the Split
keyboard mode. However, with 4Hands keyboard mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each section is automatically
adjusted to create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range. Furthermore, the damper (right)
pedal and soft (left) pedal act as separate damper pedals for the respective upper and lower sections, allowing two
people to perform piano duets using a single instrument.
 Selecting 4Hands keyboard mode
Tap the [4Hands] button to select 4Hands keyboard mode.
The keyboard will divide into right and left sections at key F4.
The sound selection area will divide into two halves. The top
half indicates the right section sound, while the bottom half
indicates the left section sound. By default, the SK-EX Concert
Grand sound will be used for both the right and left sections.
 Selecting sounds
Selecting sounds in 4Hands keyboard mode is identical to that of Single, Dual, and Split keyboard modes.
1. Tap the right or left section sound area to enter sound
selection mode.
2. Swipe left/right to change the instrument sound, and up/
down to change the instrument category.
