Manual Split

MANUAL SPLIT
Although the XK-2 has a single manual, the manual can be Split so that one sound can be played on one part of the manual
and a different sound can be played on another part of the manual.

Upper and Lower Manuals on the XK-2

When the manual is split, the effect is that of a conventional two-manual organ on which the Upper Manual would be played
by the right hand and the Lower Manual would be played by the left hand. Therefore, when Split is "ON," the area to the
right of the Split Point is referred to on the XK-2 as the Upper Manual and is abbreviated, "UM." The area to the left of the
Split Point is designated as the Lower Manual and bears the abbreviation, "LM." You will notice both of these abbreviations
in the Information Center Display. This is important to keep in mind because if you are making any changes to parameters
affecting the Lower Manual, such as Drawbar Registration, you will not hear any change unless Split is "ON."
