Getting Ready To Play

WHAT IS A “PART”?

Each “PART” is equivalent to a player in a band or an orchestra. e 3 Parts here are

expressed in Organ terms: UPPER. LOWER, and PEDAL. ese parts can be indi-

vidually played with diﬀerent sounds.

e SK1 has a single keyboard, the SK2 has 2 keyboards. Plural parts are available si-

multaneously, by splitting the keyboards or expanding them using a MIDI keyboard.

KEYBOARD SPLIT

e SK1 has only 1 manual, but it can be split and treated as if it

were a 2 manual instrument.

[SPLIT] button

To use the Split function, press the [SPLIT] button and the light

will go ON. e default setting split is at the middle B/C.

NOTE: You can change the split point (dividing note) and octave. (P. 108)

NOTE: The Split function is disabled when a second MIDI Keyboard is

added. (P. 110)

Right of the split point is referred to as: UPPER and the left side

LOWER. Percussion does not function on the LOWER part.

ere is no SPLIT function available on the SK2.

MANUAL BASS

You can play the Pedal voices using the lowest notes of the key-

board (the LOWER keyboard if on the SK2).

[M. BASS] button

To use the Manual Bass function, press the [M. BASS] button and

the light will go ON. e Pedal/Bass sound is heard in conjunc-

tion with the lowest note being played, on the manual keyboard

till that time.

In order to interface with the melody performance, the default

Manual Bass upper limit point is set to sound up to, and including

middle “B”.

NOTE: The Manual Bass can be set to play in Lowest, Polyphonic, and

Chord (P. 108 #1). You can change the playing range of the Manual

Bass (the upper limit) (P. 108 #2).

NOTE: When the SK1 is expanded to 2 manual, the Manual Bass function

works on the LOWER keyboard. (P. 110)

e part obtained when the Manual Bass is selected is called PED-

AL part and its sound is controlled by the Drawbars ([PEDAL]

when selected in Drawbar Select). is is originated from the style

of playing bass on the pedal keyboard of a 3 keyboard type organ.

You can use both the manual bass and the split at the same time.

is makes it possible to play the bass + chord + melody only by

yourself.

NOTE: You can triggering the Manual Bass by foot switch (P. 78).
