Left Split
The buttons in the Left Split section of the panel allow you to "split" the keyboard into two
parts. Splits are an easy way to make one performer sound like two. When you play the
keyboard, your right hand plays one sound and your left hand plays another.
Activate Left Split
Just Press any button in the Left Split Section, then Split will be active. Now, the right-hand
part of the keyboard plays whatever sound is currently selected in the Sound Select section; the
left-hand part plays a bass or a custom sound, selected by pressing one of the Left Split
buttons.
Press the active Left Split button a second time to cancel a split. The left split is reset to OFF
when power to the RE-210 is turned on.
Split Point
The split point is the point on the keyboard where the left sound and right sound meet.
The default split point set at the factory is F#3.
See page 31 for instructions to change the split point.
Octave Shift
In setting up a left split, you may wish to make the right or left sound higher or lower -
especially if you use a Custom left split to play duets at the keyboard (e.g., piano on the left
and strings on the right). The RE-210 gives you the ability to shift the octave in which each
part sounds. The default left and right shift are 1 and -1, respectively.
See page 31 for instructions to change the Left Octave Shift and Right Octave Shift.
Left Sustain
When using the Left Split Sound, most music and playing styles require the sustain pedal to be
ignored for the left half of the split. Should you wish to have sustain pedal affect the left sound
(for example, in a Custom split), you can turn sustain on.
See page 31 for details on how to change the Left Sustain On/Off.

Custom
You can optionally select any available sound to be the left sound.
To accomplish this, press and hold the C u s t o m button. Then, the current custom sound starts
to blink. Now Press the desired Sound Select button that you wish to play on the left split keys.
Once you select a custom split sound, release the C u s t o m button. Then, the custom split sound
button stop blinking.
The variation button also works for Custom sounds, so that you can select any of the 34
available sounds as a Custom left split sound. The custom sound is saved in the battery-backed
memory. If the C u s t o m button is selected later, the same variation sound will be used.
1. Press the Brass Section button
2. Press and hold the Custom button. The current Custom sound button starts to blink.
3. Press the Strings button, while keep holding the Custom button.
4. Release the Custom button. The current Custom sound button stops blinking.
5. Play the keyboard. Notice that Strings is the left sound and Brass Section is the
right sound.
