The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode...................................................................................................................
In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is
used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remain-
ing section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator
such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the
right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal
Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the
external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of
the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The “split
point,” or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the
keyboard can be set at any desired key.

Clavinova
(Set to receive on MIDI
channel 2)
The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a
piano (Clavinova) voice with the right hand while playing a synthe-
sizer bass line or string section with the left hand.
When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the left-
hand section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector
on MIDI channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are
transmitted on the “basic channel” (i.e. the channel set using the
MIDI channel selection function described previously).
