Playing on the Keyboard
EN-20
You can split the keyboard in the center for duet play so the
left and right sides have the same ranges.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons, with the
teacher playing on the left side as the student plays the same
song on the right side.
Keyboard
Pedal Operation when Playing a Duet
● Optional SP-34 Pedal Unit
The left pedal operates as the left side damper pedal, while
the right pedal is the right side damper pedal.
• Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard supports
half-pedal operations.
● Supplied SP-3 Pedal Unit
To use the SP-3 Pedal Unit as the right keyboard damper
pedal, connect it to the ct DAMPER/ASSIGNABLE jack. In
the Duet Mode, this pedal functions as a damper pedal for the
right side keyboard, regardless of the effect type assigned to it
with the procedure under “To select the pedal effect” (page
EN-22).
• Half-pedal operation is not supported in this case.

Long-press bq TONE until an indicator mark
(

) appears next to “DUET” on the right side of
the display.
• This indicates the Duet Mode.

• The left-side and right-side keyboard ranges are
assigned the same tone (Upper1 part tone).
3.
To exit the Duet Mode, long-press bq TONE
until the indicator mark (

EN-15) and split (page EN-15).

from the right speaker while duet is turned on. Use the
operation under “Configuring Function Settings” (page
EN-45) to enable function number 6 (Duet Pan) in the
