NOTE
2.
Release the [SPLIT] button.
After a moment, the Split voice names will reappear in the screen.
The split point will remain where you set it until you change it again, even if you
exit and reenter Split mode.
As you change the split point you can specify whether the main voice will play
above or below the split point.
In general, the main keyboard area is normally above the split point; however,
there may be cases when you’ll want to play the main voice below the split
point. For example, say you’re playing a song where the verses and choruses
call for a piano in the bass and strings on top, and an instrumental part calls for
a piano solo that sweeps from one end of the keyboard to another. You can do
this by selecting the piano as the main voice and assigning it to the lower
keyboard area. You will then be able to switch from Split mode for the verses
and choruses to Single mode form the solo, then back to split mode again,
simply by pressing the [SPLIT] button.
CHANGING MAIN AND SUB KEYBOARD AREAS
1.
Hold the [SPLIT] button, then press and hold the split point key.
2.
Press a second key below or above the split point key.
The SPLIT AREA screen appears.
As you hold the [SPLIT] button and split point key, pressing a second key
below the split point will designate the left area of the keyboard as the main
area. Pressing a second key above the split point will again designate the right
area of the keyboard as the main area.
Note that the key that you press to select the split point will always be included
in the main keyboard area. Thus, if you select F4 as the split point and then set
the main keyboard area below this point, the main voice will play all notes up to
and including F4, whereas the sub voice will play all notes from F#4 on. If you
set the main keyboard area above this point, however, the sub voice will play
all notes up to E4, and the main voice will play all notes from F4 on.

When you select voices in Split mode,
the P-200 will apply the main voice
reverb type and depth setting and
modulation type and speed setting to
both voices, and ignore any settings
which you may have made for the sub
voice. (For more information about
main and sub voices, see page 29.)
