Four Hands Mode - Kawai CN34 Owner's Manual

Four Hands Mode

The Four Hands Mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of the Split Mode
function. However, with Four Hands Mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each section is automatically adjusted to
create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range. This function is intended to allow two people
to practise together or perform piano duets using a single instrument.
1. Entering Four Hands mode
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press the sustain (right)
pedal and the soft (left) pedal together.
* It is also possible to activate Four Hands mode by using the Four Hands
setting in the Bassic Settings menu. Please refer to the instructions
on page 78 for more information.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will start to flash to
indicate that Four Hands mode is in use.
* The default four hands mode split point is set between keys E3 and F3.
The LED indicator for the PIANO 1 button will turn on, and the
'Concert Grand' sound will automatically be selected for both
the upper and lower sections.
