4) Four Hands Mode

It is possible to divide the keyboard into left and right sections at the default split point, and to play both sections
in the same key range using the four hands mode.
When four hands mode is active, the sustain pedal (right pedal) acts as the sustain pedal for the right section, and
the soft pedal (left pedal) acts as the sustain pedal for the left section. When four hands mode is active the CA61
functions as two pianos, so you can enjoy duet performances or use one CA61 piano for two students.
Step 1
To enter the four hands mode, depress the Sustain pedal (right pedal) and the Soft pedal (left pedal) while
holding down the SPLIT button.

The LED indicator on the SPLIT button will fl ash to indicate four hands mode is active.
On the LCD display, the top line indicates the sound for the right
section, and the lower line indicates the sound for the left section.
As with SPLIT mode, left and right sounds, split point, and the volume balance can be set (pages 16 and 17).
Step 2
Press the SPLIT button to exit four hands mode.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will be turned off.
Soft pedal
Depress the pedals
Concert Grand is the default sound for both sections.
Compared to the normal operation of the CA61 piano, the key range is lowered by two octaves for the right section,
and raised by two octaves for the left section. "Lower octave shift" can be used to adjust the octave range of the lower
section (page 65).
The settings made for four hands mode are independent of those made in split mode; therefore, making these settings
will not change the split mode settings.
Hold down the button.
