Four Hands Mode - Kawai CE220 Owner's Manual

Four Hands Mode

The Four Hands Mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of the Split Mode
function. However, with Four Hands Mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each section is automatically adjusted to
create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range. Furthermore, the sustain (right) pedal and
soft (left) pedal act as separate sustain pedals for the respective upper and lower sections, allowing two people to
perform piano duets using a single instrument.
Entering Four Hands mode
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press the sustain (right)
and soft (left) pedals simultaneously.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will turn on to indicate
that Four Hands mode is in use.
* The 'Concert Grand' sound will be selected for both sections, with the
upper section lowered by two octaves and the lower section raised
by two octaves.
Changing the upper/lower section sound
Press a SOUND SELECTION button to select the desired sound for the upper section.
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press a SOUND SELECTION button to select the desired sound for the lower section.
* The Lower Octave Shift setting can be used to adjust the octave range for the Lower section.
For further information, please refer to the instructions on page 44.
Adjusting the upper/lower section volume balance
Move the BALANCE slider left and right to adjust the volume
balance between the main and layered sounds.
Changing the split point
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press a key on the keyboard.
The name of the pressed key will be shown in the LED display, and will become the new split point.
* The default split point is set between keys B2 and C3.
Exiting Four Hands mode
Press the SPLIT button to exit Four Hands mode.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will turn off, and the instrument will return to normal operation.
