Keyboard Modes - Roland KR-75 Manual

6.2. Keyboard modes
Whole: one Tone for the entire keyboard
In Whole mode, one Tone is assigned to the entire
keyboard, thus allowing you to play piano or other
parts involving both your left and right hand. That
explains why Whole is automatically selected when
you press the One Touch Program [PIANO] button.

Press the [WHOLE] button.
The button's indicator will go on, and the Tone
selected for the Upper part will be assigned to the
entire keyboard.
Note: If you press the [WHOLE] button while using the
Arranger, the KR-75 will switch to Piano Style Arranger
mode (see page 23).
Split: different Tones in the left and right
hand
It is also possible to split the keyboard, so that you
can play two different sounds with your left and
right hand, e.g. a bass and a piano sound. The key
(or note) where the keyboard is divided is called
the split point. You are free to choose another split
point, but do remember that the KR-75 automatical-
ly selects F#3 whenever you switch it off. Just for
your information: the key that acts as split point is
the highest note of the Lower part.
As organ playing usually involves two different
sounds, the keyboard is automatically split when-
ever you press the One Touch Program [ORGAN]
button and select "Jazz Organ".
Here is how to split the keyboard:

The Tone assigned to the Upper Part will be used
when you switch to Whole mode (see above). When
you power on the KR-75, the Tone assigned to the
Lower part will be "Strings."
Selecting Tones for the Upper and
Lower parts
1. Press the button of the part ([LOWER] or [UPPER]) you wish
to assign another Tone to.
The arrow (b>) will jump to the selected Part.
2. Press a TONE button.
The Tone Select screen will be displayed.
3. Select a Tone.
After several seconds, the display reverts to the
Basic screen.
Note: There is no need to select a part by pressing its
button when an arrow (%) appears next to its nante.
Note: You can change the location where the keyboard is
split. Refer to "Lower Tone on/off and split point" on
page 43.
Note: Sometimes, the pitch changes when the keyboard
is split. That is because the KR-75 automatically selects a
suitable Octave Shift value to avoid notes sounding way
too low or too high.
