Playing different sounds with your left and right hand
(Split mode)
You can play a sound with your right hand (the Main sound),
and a different one with the left hand (the Left sound). This is
called the Split mode.
Entering the Split mode
To access Split mode from any other mode, press the SPLIT
button. The Main sound of the Single or Layer mode will be as-
signed to the right half of the keyboard (Main area, shown in
the first line of the display), and a Bass sound will be assigned
to the left half of the keyboard (Left area, shown in the second
line of the display).
While the Ac.Bass sound will be chosen as the Left sound the
first time you enter Split mode, the last selected sound will be
assigned if you return to Split mode later.
Exit from the Split mode
To exit Split mode, press the SPLIT button again to return to
the Single mode, or press two sound selection buttons together
to enter Layer mode.
Choosing a different split point
If the selected split point is too high or too low, you can choose
a different one. Please note that you can set a default split
point, to have it ready each time you turn the instrument on
(see “Default split point” on page 48).
1. Keep the SPLIT button pressed. The current split point is
shown in the display while you keep the button pressed.
2. Play a note to set a different split point.
3. Release the SPLIT button.
Selecting a different Main sound
You can select a different Main sound after accessing the Split
mode. Use the sound selection buttons as you would do to se-
lect a sound in Single mode.
Selecting a variation of the Main sound
You can select a variation of the Main sound after accessing the
Split mode.
1. Be sure the cursor is in the first line of the display. If it isn’t,
use the SCROLL
button to move it there:
2. Use the VARIATION button to select a different sound
variation. As an alternative, use the +/YES and -/NO but-
tons to choose a different sound variation.
Selecting a different Left sound
You can select a different Left sound after accessing the Split
mode.
1. Keep the SPLIT button pressed. The indicator of the Left
sound lights up.
2. Use the sound selection buttons to select a different sound.
3. Release the SPLIT button.
As an alternative, use the display controls:

sound.

a sound in Single mode.
3. Use the
buttons to move the cursor back to the Main
sound.

Split mode.

sound lights up.

variation.
