Now
notice that
in
the
same
block
of
switches
we
have
three
KEY ASSIGN
MODE
selections—SINGLE,
DUAL
and
SPLIT.
These
three
keyboard
modes
function as
follows:
SINGLE
"
In
this
mode
only
a
single voice
may
be
selected
at a
time
(the
two-line
LCD
display
will
display
only
one
voice
on
the top
line).
The
selected voice
will
be
playable over the
entire
keyboard.
DUAL
--
In this
mode
one
voice
from channel
A
and one
voice
from channel B
may
be selected simultaneously. Both voices
will
be played over the
entire
length
of
the
keyboard
(i.e.
they
will
sound
together).
SPLIT
--
In
this
mode
the
channel
A
and B
voices
may
be assigned
to different
areas of the
keyboard
for
split
keyboard
effects.
The
channel
A
voice
is
assigned
to
the
left
side of
the keyboard while
the
channel B voice
is
assigned
to
the
right
side of the keyboard. This
means
that
you
can,
for
example, assign
a
bass voice
to the
left
side of the
keyboard and
a
piano voice
to the
right
side of the
keyboard,
and and
play
each
part
separately with the
left
and
right
hands.
