2.3SPLIT

Variation 2 for lower and 1 for upper.

SELECTING SPLIT SOUNDS

The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper and lower—and lets you play each part with a different sound.

First press the desired SOUND SELECT button to select the upper sound. Then, while holding down the SPLIT button, press the desired SOUND SELECT button to select the lower sound. The LED indicator for the upper sound will be turned on and the LED for the lower sound will start flashing. The display shows the combination of the selected sound variation numbers during the SPLIT button is pressed. The number on the left is for lower sound and the number on the right is for upper sound.

CHANGING THE SPLIT POINT

The default split point is set between B2 and C3. This point can be moved to anywhere on the keyboard.

Press the desired key on the keyboard while holding down the

SPLIT button.

The key you pressed becomes the lowermost note for the upper section.

2.4DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE SLIDER

You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds in Dual or Split mode. Use the Dual/Split Balance slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider to the right to increase the volume of the rightmost sound (in dual mode) or upper sound (in split mode) and decrease the volume of the leftmost sound (in dual mode) or lower sound (in split mode). The balance changes in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.

2.5EFFECTS/REVERB

You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds, the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or the REVERB is turned on. The reason for this is some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as their initial setting.

Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves acoustical realism. The CA piano is provided with two separate groups of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, delay, tremolo and rotary speaker.
