The icon appears and the E-200/E-100 now automati-
cally selects a sound for the Split part that complements the
sound assigned to the Main part.

At first, the keyboard is split at the C4 (note number “60”). If
necessary, you can select a different split point. See
“KeySplit* (Split point)” (p. 38).
To change the balance between the Main and Split sounds,

(decrease) or [KEYBOARD] (increase) to change the Split
part’s volume.
(4) To assign another sound to the Split part, hold down the
[SPLIT] button and proceed like for the Main part
(page 11).
Alternatively, press and hold one of the eight TONE buttons

Note: You cannot assign Drum Kits to the Split part.
Note: You can also add a monophonic bass part (“Auto Bass”) to
the Split part. See “Auto Bass*: status and volume” (p. 39).

the eight TONE buttons while pressing another. The first
