Playing Two Tones on the Keyboard
The setting that determines whether one or two Tones are played by a key
is referred to as “Key Mode.”There are three Key modes.
Single
: The same Tone is played by all keys on the keyboard. This is the
normal playing mode.
Split:
One key acts as the division point (the “split point”) separating
the keyboard into left- and right-hand sides, with a different
Tone played in each.
Layer:
Two sounds are played simultaneously.
In Layer mode, the two overlapping parts are called UPPER1 and UPPER2;
in Split mode, the part in the right-hand side of the keyboard is referred to
as the UPPER part, and the part in left-hand side of the keyboard is referred
to as the LOWER part. In Single mode, UPPER1 is played over the entire
keyboard.
One tone can be assigned to each part.

To Switch to Single Mode
You can use the following two methods to switch from modes such as Split
or Layer mode, in which two or more Tones are played together, to the
mode whereby one Tone is played over the entire keyboard (Single mode).
• Press ONE TOUCH [PIANO]
Switch to the mode most suitable for piano performances, where the piano
Tone is used by the entire keyboard.
However, pressing ONE TOUCH [PIANO] renders all settings made up to
that point ineffective. Save any settings you want to keep to a Setup (p. 56)
before pressing ONE TOUCH [PIANO].
• To Turn Off [LAYER] or [SPLIT] (Extinguishing the Indicator)
This switches the RD-700 to the mode in which the UPPER1 Tone is played
by all keys.
