Examples of split points as shown on display
F4.2 Split balance
This parameter can be used to optimize the volume balance
between the split Voices. Settings can be made for each
combination of Voices.
•Available settings: 0 to 20 (The greater the value, the louder the
volume of the right Voice; 10 represents an equal balance.)
•Default setting: Each combination of Voices has its own default.
F4.3 Right Voice octave shift
F4.4 Left Voice octave shift
These parameters are used to raise or lower the pitch of
each of the left and right Voices in units of one octave. This
allows you to set the note ranges of each side of the key-
board to better suit the pieces you intend to play. Settings
can be made for each combination of Voices.
•Available settings: -1, 0, and 1
•Default setting: Each combination of Voices has its own default.
F4.5 Right Voice effect depth
F4.6 Left Voice effect depth
Use these parameters to set the depth of the effect for each
of the left and right Voices.
•Available settings: 0 to 20
•Default setting: Each combination of Voices has its own default.
F4.7 Damper pedal range
This parameter can be use to specify whether the damper
pedal should affect both Voices (“ALL”), only the right
Voice (“1”), or only the left Voice (“2”).
•Available settings: ALL (both Voices), 1 (right Voice only), and 2
(left Voice only)
•Default setting: 1
F4.8 Reset
By pressing the [+/YES] button with this Function parame-
ter shown, you can reset all of the Split mode settings to the
defaults for the corresponding Voice combinations.
The following parameters can be used to assign the func-
tionality of the [PLAY/STOP] button to a pedal, adjust the
depth of the damper pedal’s resonance effect, and make a
range of other convenient settings.
F5.1
Pedal [PLAY/STOP] function
If you have connected a pedal unit* (see page 12) to your
digital piano, you can use this parameter to configure either
the center or left pedal to operate in the same way as the
control panel’s [PLAY/STOP] button. Note that when this
functionality is assigned to a pedal, the pedal’s original
function (i.e., soft or sostenuto) will be disabled. (*: Sold
separately.)
•Available settings: OFF, 1 (left pedal), and 2 (center pedal)
•Default setting: OFF
F5.2 Damper-pedal resonance depth
Using this parameter, you can adjust the depth of the reso-
nance effect applied to certain Voices—specifically, Grand
Piano, Live Grand, Ballad Grand, and Bright Grand—when
the damper pedal is operated.
•Available settings: 0 to 10
•Default setting: Differs for each Voice
F5.3 Soft pedal effect depth
If you have connected a pedal unit* (see page 12), the soft
pedal will slightly lower the volume and soften the timbre
of notes played while it is being operated, and using this
parameter, you can adjust the depth of that effect. (*: Sold
separately.)
•Available settings: 1 to 10
•Default setting: 5
F4. Split mode settings
As an alternative to using the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the split point can be
set by pressing the corresponding key. You can also do this when Function
parameter F4.1 is not being shown by pressing the key with the [SPLIT] button
held down (page 14).
