Playing Dierent Tones in Two Dierent
Sections of the Keyboard (Split Mode)
Such a division of the keyboard into right- and left-hand sections is
called a “Split,” and the key where the division takes place is called the
“Split Point.”
While in Split mode, a sound played in the right side is called an
“UPPER part,” and the sound played in the left side is called a “LOWER
part.” The split-point key is included in the LOWER section.
The Split Point has been set at the factory to “F#3.”
MEMO
You can change the split point. Please refer to “Changing the
Keyboard’s Split Point” (p. 12).
