The Split Mode
The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard
— one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The left-hand voice is
played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified “split point” key, while
the right-hand voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key.
To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so thats
indicator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by press-
ing the [SPLIT] button again so that its indicator goes out.
• The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
Selecting the Left-hand Voice...........................................................
The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged
becomes the right-hand voice in the split mode. To select a left-hand
voice press the corresponding voice selector while holding the [SPLIT]
button. The indicator of the left-hand voice selector will light while it is
pressed, then only the right-hand voice selector and [SPLIT] button
indicators will remain lit.
• The variation can be individually turned on and off for the split mode
voices. Normally the voice indicator of the right-hand voice lights in the
split mode. The [VARIATION] can be used to turn the variation for the
right-hand voice on or off as required. While the [SPLIT] button is held,
however, the voice indicator of the left-hand voice lights, and in this state
the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for the left-hand
voice on or off as required.
• The chorus effect will apply to both the split mode voices as specified
after engaging the split mode (the default effect on/off and depth settings
are different for each voice combination). The effect depth for the split
mode voices can be individually set via the Split Mode “Left Voice Effect
Depth” and “Right Voice Effect Depth” functions described on page 26.
