How AutoSplit Works

We'll go through the same procedure again, explaining what's going on with each step. If you
want to follow along, start by pressing Program to return to Program mode. Program 000 Stereo
Grand should appear in the display. Notice the four zone buttons: Zone 1 is active (the LED in
the Zone 1 button is green), while Zones 2-4 are muted (Orange LEDs).
1. Press Layer (Zone 2). The first thing to notice is that you're in Setup mode. That's because
you now have two active zones, and as you know, you can't have more than one zone in
Program mode (because Program mode is based on the internal setup, which has only one
zone.) Consequently the PC1 automatically switches to Setup mode so that it can activate
Zone 2. Notice that the LED for Zone 2 is now green, confirming that Zone 2 is active.
As soon as you press Layer, Zone 2 becomes active, and whatever program is assigned to
Zone 2 gets layered with the piano. As it happens, the strings program is already selected
for Zone 2. That's because it's the program most recently assigned to Zone 2 (the first time
we went through this exercise). If you had selected a different setup before returning to
Program mode, you'd most likely see a different program in Zone 2 now.
Zone 2 is also the current zone, which we know from the information in the top line of the
display (whichever zone number you see is the current zone). Incidentally, the word auto
means that the AutoSplit feature is on (if it weren't, none of this would work).
2. Press the Category select button Strings (Green light) then press the Program select button
A. OK, you didn't need to in this case, but pretend that you did. In Step 1 we created the
layer by activating Zone 2; now we've assigned a program to it.
3. Press Split (Zone 3). The PC1 automatically splits the keyboard at a predetermined point
(it's called the AutoSplit Key, and by default it's G
and 2 play above the AutoSplit Key. Zone 3 becomes active (and becomes the current zone),
and whatever program is assigned to Zone 3 plays below the AutoSplit Key.
4. Press the Category select button Bass (Green light) then the Program select button A. In Step
3 we created the split by activating Zone 3 below the AutoSplit Key; now we've assigned a
program to it.
5. Press Split Layer (Zone 4).Zone 4 becomes active (and becomes the current zone), and
whatever program is assigned to Zone 4 gets layered with the bass.
6. Press the Category select button Drums (Green light) then the Program elect button A. In
Step 5 we created the layer by activating Zone 4 and layering it with Zone 3; now we've
assigned a program to it.
