Turning On Layer and Split Performance Simultaneously
Turning on both layer performance and split performance allows you to split the
keyboard into two sections while playing two layered Tones in the right-hand part.

Shifting the Keyboard Pitch in Octave Steps
(Octave Shift)
When using layer performance (p. 24) or split performance (p. 25), you can change
the pitch of the keyboard’s sound in octave units. This function is called “Octave
Shift.”
For example, when using a layer performance, you can change the pitch of each
sound and layer the sounds. You can make the pitch of the keyboard’s left-hand part
match the pitch of the right-hand part during split performance.
1. On the Basic screen, touch <Layer> or <Split>.
The KF-7 switches to layer performance or split performance.
2. To apply Octave Shift, touch the name of the tone you’ve selected.
3. Press the Tone button to display the Tone selection screen.

4. Touch Octave <-> or <+> in the lower part of the screen to adjust the
pitch of the sound.
Each time you touch <+>, the pitch is raised one octave.
Each time you touch <->, the pitch is lowered one octave.
The sound can be changed from two octaves lower than the original sound (-2) to
two octaves above the original (+2).
Touch <Exit> to return to the Basic screen or the previous screen.
When the keyboard has been
divided into upper and lower
sections, the damper pedal is
applied to only the upper
section. If you want to add
lingering reverberations to the
notes of the lower section, see
“Assigning Functions to
Pedals and Performance Pads
(Pedal Setting/User
Functions)” (p. 143).
You cannot use Octave Shift
when using a single tone for
the entire keyboard or in the
right-hand Tone during layer
performances.
