Performing with the Keyboard
The RD-300SX features four Internal zones (UPPER and LOWER), and one tone can
be assigned to each of these zones.
In each zone used, you can have multiple tones layered and played simultaneously
or have different tones played in the left and right parts of the keyboard.
These different ways of using tones are referred to as “keyboard modes.” There are
three keyboard modes.
Single:
One tone is played for the entire keyboard.
Dual:
Two tones are layered and played together.
Split:
The keyboard is divided into two separate ranges at a certain key (the
split point), with different tones played in the left and right ranges.
The two layered parts played in Dual mode are called the UPPER and LOWER parts.
In Split mode, UPPER refers to the part played in the right section of the keyboard,
while LOWER refers to the part played in the left section of the keyboard.
UPPER is played over the entire keyboard when the RD-300SX is set to Single mode.

There are two methods you can use to switch from the multiple-tone modes, Dual
and Split mode, to Single mode, in which a single tone is used throughout the entire
keyboard.
Pressing ONE TOUCH [PIANO]
This applies the piano tone to the entire keyboard, setting the optimal conditions for
piano performances.
However, pressing ONE TOUCH [PIANO] disables any settings made up to that
point. Be sure to save any settings you want to keep to a Setup (p. 35) before pressing
ONE TOUCH [PIANO].
Turning [DUAL] or [SPLIT] off (turning the indicator off)
In this case, the UPPER tone is applied to the entire keyboard.
