Changing the split point
You can change the location at which the keyboard is
split (the split point):
Hold down the Tone button whose indicator is blink-
ing, and press the note that you wish to use as the
new split point.
F#3: Split point when the power is turned on
The split point can be anywhere inside this range
Note: See also "Functions assigned to the keyboard" on
page 26 for the exact keys to press.
The split point can be set from B1- B6. The key that
serves as the split point is the highest note of the left
half. The split point you set will be retained until the
piano is switched off.
4.4 Adding Reverb
The HP-237e allows you to add reverberation to what
you play on the keyboard. The Reverb effect provides
a pleasant reverberation that gives the impression that
you are performing in a concert hall or similar space.
The HP-237e does not remember for which Tones you
switch on the Reverb effect. The effect is either on or
- off. When the power is turned on, the Reverb effect
will be cancelled.
1. Press the [Reverb] button (indicator lights).

ing the depth of the Reverb" (p. 16).

4.5 Adding Chorus
The HP-237e also allows you to add Chorus to what
you play on the keyboard.
The Chorus effect creates a fuller sound with a dis-
tinct "stereo" impression ideal for pop music. The set-
ting of the Chorus effect is memorized independently
for each sound: when the power is turned on, the
Chorus Effect will be applied to the "Electric Piano 1",
"Electric Piano 2" and "Vibraphone" Tones, and off
for the other sounds.
1. Press the [Chorus] button to turn on the indicator.
The Chorus Effect will be applied to the currently
selected Tone

Note: Whenever you select a sound for which the Chorus
effect is switched off by default, the [Chorus] button indi-
cator will go dark.
2. To cancel the Chorus effect, press the [Chorus]
button once again to make the indicator go dark.
Note: When two Tones are layered (see page 10), or when
`
you are using the Split function (see page 10), the [Cho-
rus] button applies to both Tones (except for the Acoustic
Bass sound). When you cancel the Layer or Split mode,
you will return to the default Chorus setting of each sound.
Note: The amount of Chorus can be changed. Please refer
to "Changing the depth of the Chorus" (p. 16).

You can start or stop the metronome with a single
button.
