functions such as loading and storing programs, access to live pro-
grams, keyboard split functionality and more. This is also where menus
containing System, Sound and MIDI settings are found. The menus and
their settings are covered in a separate chapter, starting on page 22.

no overlap between the sounds selected for each zone. By setting a
Width, sounds can instead be mixed or "cross-faded" across the split
point, creating a smoother transition between the sounds.Pressing the
Width (Program 2) soft button allows for adjusting the width, or
"cross-fade" range of the split point. There are three different settings,
selectable by turning the dial:
KEYBOARD SPLIT

low the split point fades out across 6 notes above it and sounds above
the split point will similarily reach 6 notes below it.
12: The 12 setting provides a width of 24 semitones, 12 below the split
point and 12 above it.
