Split Balance
Split Mode
The volume balance between the left-hand and right-hand voices can be ad-
justed by using the TEMPO [] and [] buttons while holding the [SPLIT] but-
ton. The selected balance value (1 … 15) will be shown on the TEMPO display
while the [SPLIT] and TEMPO [s] or [] buttons are held.
A setting of “1” sets the volume of the left voice to maximum and the right
voice to minimum (no sound).
A setting of “8” sets both voices to the same volume (this is the default balance
setting, and can be recalled by pressing the TEMPO [] and [] buttons si-
multaneously).
A setting of “15” sets the volume of the right voice to maximum and the left
voice to minimum (no sound).
NOTES
The TEMPO [
] and [
] buttons allow two-speed scrolling: press lightly to scroll
through the values slowly, or press firmly to scroll rapidly.
Damper Pedal Operation in the Split Mode
The damper pedal (the supplied FC4 foot switch connected to the rear-panel
DAMPER jack — see “The Pedals” on page 14) can be assigned to the left voice
only, the right voice only, or to both voices in the split mode.
Right Voice Only (default): Press the DAMPER pedal while holding the
[SPLIT] button.
Left Voice Only: Press the FOOT SWITCH pedal (an optional FC4 or FC5
foot switch connected to the rear-panel FOOT SWITCH jack) while holding
the [SPLIT] button.
Both Voices: Press both the DAMPER and FOOT SWITCH pedals while
holding the [SPLIT] button.
NOTES
The dual and split modes cannot be used at the same time.
In the split the soft and sostenuto pedal functions apply to both the left- and right-
hand voices.
When the ABC Single Finger mode (page 20) and the split mode are used simul-
taneously, the left-hand voice will be accompanied by the appropriate ABC chord
voices.
