Playing with a Piano or Organ Tone
Pressing bk PIANO/ORGAN toggles between the piano and
organ modes. Each press of bk PIANO/ORGAN toggles the
tone setting between a piano tone (Tone Number 001) and an
organ tone (Tone Number 079).
In addition to the tone number, you also can configure the
settings.
Example:
Rhythm Number: "176" (When a piano tone is selected)
"098" (When an organ tone is selected)

Layering and Splitting Tones

You can configure the keyboard to play two different tones at
the same time (Layer) or to play different tones in the left and
right ranges (Split). You can even use Layer and Split in
combination with each other and play three different tones at
the same time.
The UPPER 1 part is used alone when playing an individual
tone on the keyboard. When layering two tones, the UPPER 1
part and UPPER 2 parts are used. When splitting the
keyboard between two tones, the low range of the keyboard
plays the LOWER part.
• One tone across the entire keyboard (page EN-12)
This configuration uses the UPPER 1 part only (Layer: Off,
Split: Off).
• Two layered tones across the entire keyboard (page
EN-13)
This configuration uses the UPPER 1 part and UPPER 2
part (Layer: On, Split: Off).
