TUTORIAL
Basic Operations
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds. Use the
DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider
to the right to increase the volume of the rightmost preset sound and
decrease the volume of the leftmost preset sound. The balance changes
in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.
SPLIT
The CA piano provides you with another type of sound combination called
a split. The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper
keyboard and lower keyboard—and lets you play a different sound in
each section.
Press the SPLIT button to activate the split function. Press the
SOUND SELECT button for the sound you would like to use for
the upper keyboard. Then, while holding down the SPLIT button,
press another SOUND SELECT button to select a sound for the
lower keyboard. The LED indicator for the upper sound will be turned
on and the LED for the lower sound will start flashing. The LCD display
will show the names of the two selected sounds.
Sound name for the upper keyboard
Sound name for the lower keyboard
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds. Use the
Dual/Split Balance slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider to
the right to increase the volume of the upper sound and decrease the
volume of the lower sound. The balance changes in the opposite way
when the slider is moved to the left.
The split point determines where the upper keyboard section will be
divided from the lower one. You can move the split point to any key you
like. To do this, please read “8. Split Button” in the Reference section,
page 56.
ABOUT POLYPHONY
The CA piano is capable of playing up to 64 notes simultaneously (64-
note polyphony). When playing in dual mode, or when playing the stereo
piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half since the piano has to
produce two sounds for each note.
