Splitting The Keyboard For Left And Right Hands - Yamaha CP4 Stage Owner's Manual

Removing Voice layering
To remove a layered Voice, press the [LAYER] button
once again. The button's light will go out and only the
MAIN Part's Voice will be output when you play the
keyboard.
Tip
Creating layered sounds by simultaneously
pressing Voice Category buttons
You can conveniently create layered sounds by
pressing and holding one Voice Category button and
then pressing another. This action results in the first
Voice from each of the two categories being assigned
to the MAIN and LAYER Parts.
NOTE
• If the LAYER Part is turned off (i.e., the [LAYER] button is not
lit), it will be turned on automatically by this action.
• If you have modified the stage piano's favorite Voice settings
(page 23), the current favorite Voices will be selected as the
categories' first Voices.
• Regardless of the currently selected Part, the Voice from the
category selected second will be assigned to the LAYER Part.
• If the category selected using a Voice Category button
matches the Voice category of the Part currently selected for
editing, the first Voice from that category will not be recalled.
Splitting the Keyboard for
Left and Right Hands
By turning on the SPLIT Part using the [SPLIT] button, you
can have the right side of the keyboard play the MAIN
Part's Voice and the left half play that of the SPLIT Part.
You can then play two different sounds with your left and
right hands. The position at which the keyboard is
divided between the two Parts is referred to as the split
point and can be freely set. On the CP40 STAGE, this is
achieved by using the SPLIT/LAYER Part as a SPLIT Part.
