Playing Different Tones with the Left
and Right Hands (Split)
Dividing the keyboard into right-hand and left-hand areas, then playing different
sounds in each section is called “split performance.” The boundary key is called the
“split point.”
The split point key is included in the left-hand keyboard area. Each time power to
the keyboard is turned on, the split point is reset to “F#3.”
