26 DG8 REFERENCE MANUAL
7. Splits
A Split is simply a Bass or Card Program played on the lower range of keys
with a Primary sound played from the upper range. (Remember that the
Primary can be selected from the Keyboard Banks or the Card Bank.)
• To set up a Split, press any Bass Bank button. To select a Card Program
as the split sound, press and hold
SPLIT/OFF then press CARD. Use the ▲
and ▼ arrows to select the desired Split sound from within the selected
Bass Bank or the Card Bank.
• In either case, the Bass Program or Card Program will be recalled from
memory as the sound on the lower (left-hand) range of keys and its label
will appear in the
SPLIT segment of the display.
• The default split-point is key “C2”, the C that is one octave below Middle
C. To change the split point, press the
SET SPLIT button. The display will
prompt you to press a key on the DG8’s keyboard. This key will be the
highest note of the lower range.
Note that if you don’t press a key within two seconds, the display will
revert back to the program display, leaving the current split point
unchanged.
• To change the lower sound, use the ▲ and ▼ arrows to select another
program in the current Bass Bank or Card Bank, or press another Bass
Bank button.
• To change the upper sound, press another Keyboard Bank button; to
switch the upper sound to the Card Bank, press
CARD. Use the ▲ and ▼
arrows to select the desired Program in the Keyboard/Card Banks.
• To exit this mode, press the SPLIT/OFF button.
8. Split-with-Layer
When the DG8 is playing a Split: press and hold the
LAYER/OFF button and
press another Keyboard Bank button or the Card Button to add a
LAYER
sound to the upper range of the keyboard.
If the DG8 is playing a Layer: press any Bass Bank button to split the layered
keyboard with an internal Bass Program on the lower range of the keyboard.
To split a layered keyboard with a Card Program, press and hold
SPLIT/OFF
and press CARD.
Tip: For Primaries, Layers and Splits, the DG8’s memory independently keeps track
of the most recently selected programs for each Bank button. This principle is
true for the Keyboard, Bass and Card Banks.
