Layering Two Parts

Two Parts (LOWER, UPPER)

The A-88 stores the keyboard settings for two parts, LOWER and UPPER.
The keyboard settings include the MIDI channel and octave shift.
Such settings are stored individually for the UPPER and LOWER parts. When the [DUAL/SPLIT]
button is off, you'll be able to use one or the other of these parts.
