Basic Operations

Using Split
With split you can assign two different tones (a main tone and a split tone) to either end of the keyboard, which lets you play one tone with your left hand and another tone with your right hand.

To change the location of the split point
While holding down the SPLIT button, press the keyboard key where you want the lowest note (the leftmost key) of the upper range (right side range) to be. No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.

Using Layer and Split Together
You can use layer and split together to create a layered/split keyboard. When you use layer and split in combination, the high range of the keyboard is assigned two tones (main tone + layered tone), and the low range two tones (split tone + layered/split tone).

To split the keyboard

1. 2.

Select the main tone. Press the SPLIT button.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to light. The current split tone name appears on the display. You can use the TONE buttons to change the split tone if you want.

To layer/split the keyboard

3. 4.

Select the split tone. Now try playing something on the keyboard.
The lower range (left side) of the keyboard is assigned the split tone, while the upper range (right side) is assigned the main tone. The location on the keyboard where the changeover between the two tones occurs is called the split point. See �To change the location of the split point� on this page for details on changing the location of the split point.

1.

Select the main tone, layered tone, split tone, and layered/split tone.
Use the mixer to select the tones, following the procedure under �Changing the Parameters of a Part� on page E-47. The main tone is Upper1, the layered tone is Upper2, the split tone is Lower1, and the layered/split tone is Lower2.

2.

Turn on both layer and split to layer/split the keyboard.
Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button once to turn on layer. Press the SPLIT button to turn on split. This causes the indicator lamps of both the buttons to light. The layered/split tone name appears on the display. You can change the layered/split tone if you want.

5.

Press the SPLIT button again to unsplit the keyboard and return it to normal.
This causes the indicator lamp of the button to go out.

Split is disabled during demo tune play and in the Music Library Mode (while Music Library Mode lamp is lit). Split is achieved by sounding Upper1 and Lower1 of mixer Group A. This means you can use the mixer to change the volume balance and stereo pan position parameters for both the main tone and split tone. See �Using the Mixer� on page E-46 for details.

3. 4.

Now try playing something on the keyboard. Press the LAYER/(GROUP A/B) button and the SPLIT button again to unlayer/unsplit the keyboard and return it to normal.
