Playing KEYBOARD SPLIT Sounds

The Concertmate 575’s KEYBOARD SPLIT sounds (No’s. 90-99 in the SOUNDS list) let you play two different sounds on opposite halves of the key- board, so the first 24 keys on the left side of the keyboard (“low-end keys”) play one sound, and the remaining 25 keys on the right (“high-end keys”) play the other sound.
