Basic Operation
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.

Press the SPLIT button.

While holding down the SPLIT button, press the
tone button of the tone you want to use as the split
tone.
• While holding down the SPLIT button, you can also
press the VARIATION button to switch to the
variation of the split tone.
• The tone button lamp of the split tone you specify
flashes. The indicator lamp above the VARIATION
button also flashes when the variation tone is selected
for 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.

Press the SPLIT button again to unsplit the keyboard
and return it to normal.
• This causes the indicator lamp above the button to go
out.
NOTE
• If you change or turn off a digital effect while split is
turned on, the setting you make is saved to the main
tone’s settings only.
How digital effects are applied when split is turned on
The following are the rules that determine what type of digital
effects are applied to tones that are assigned to a split
keyboard.
These conditions:
• Digital effects turned on
for the main tone
• Digital effects turned on
or off for the split tone
• Digital effects turned off
for the main tone
• Layering turned on
(page E-13)
• Digital effects turned on
for the layered tone
• Digital effects turned off
for the main tone
• Layering turned on
(page E-13), but digital
effects turned off for the
layered tone
• Layering turned off
• Digital effects turned on
for the split tone
Cause these digital effects
to be applied to both the
main tone and split tone:
Main tone digital effects
Layered tone digital effects
Split tone digital effects
To change the location of the split point
The “split point” is the point on the keyboard that separates
the low range (split tone) from the high range (main tone).

While holding down the SPLIT button, press the
keyboard key where you want the highest note (the
rightmost key) of the lower range (left side range)
to be.
