Playing Different Tones with the Left
and Right Hands (Split Play)
The Split feature allows you to split the keyboard into two zones, then play
a different sound in each zone.
Such a division of the keyboard into right- and left-hand sections is called a
“Split,” and the key where the division takes place is called the “Split Point.”
The split-point key is included in the left-hand section. Each time power to
the keyboard is turned on, the split point is reset to “F#3.”

1. At the Basic screen, touch <Split>.
The tone in the right-hand part remains the same as it was before the
keyboard was split, and the tone in the lower part switches to the tone
displayed on the upper left part of the basic screen.
In this case, the tone in the right portion of the keyboard is called the “Upper
Tone,” and the tone in the left portion of the keyboard is called the “Lower
Tone.”

point. Please refer to
