Playing Different Voices Simulta-
neously
The instrument keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences
that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several
different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you
play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.

Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left)

Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and
Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a
rich, ensemble sound.
Keyboard Part Combinations
■ Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part)
You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for nor-
mal performance—for example, with the piano Voice.
Make sure the PART ON/OFF [DUAL (RIGHT2)]/[SPLIT (LEFT)] buttons are turned off.
