Digital Piano Operations

You can split the keyboard in the center for duet play so the
left and right sides have the same ranges.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons, with the
teacher playing on the left side as the student plays the same
song on the right side.
You can change the ranges of the left and right keyboards
in octave units from their initial default settings. This comes
in handy, for example, if the initial default range is not
enough when one person is playing the left hand part and
another person is playing the right hand part.
For information about the setting operation, see To change
the octaves of the duet keyboards” (page EN-23).
Pedal Operation when Playing a Duet
If you are using the separately available SP-34 Pedal Unit,
the left outer pedal is the left keyboard damper pedal, while
the right outer pedal is the right keyboard damper pedal.
Only the damper pedal for the right keyboard supports half-
pedal operations.
To use the supplied SP-3 Pedal as a damper pedal that
affects both the left keyboard and right keyboard, connect it
to the bm DAMPER PEDAL jack. In the Duet Mode, this
pedal functions as a damper pedal, regardless of the effect
type assigned to it with the procedure under “Changing
Pedal Functions” (page EN-33). Half-pedal operation is not
supported in this case.
To use the Duet Mode
1.
While holding down 3 FUNCTION, press the
C4 keyboard key.
Each time the C4 keyboard key is pressed to change this
setting, a notification tone sounds to indicate the newly
selected setting.
* For more information, see Notification Tones” (page EN-9).
2.
After the setting is the way you want, release
3 FUNCTION.
Some settings become fixed and cannot be changed while
in the Duet Mode.
Hall Simulator (page EN-15), Surround (page EN-15) and
Chorus (page EN-17) are disabled while the Duet Mode
setting is “Pan”.
