1. Hold down the [Split] button and press the Tone button for the tone you want to change, whether the Upper or Lower Tone.

The indicators for the [-] and [+] buttons light in the same color as the indicator of the selected tone button.

When orange, it indicates that the Upper Tone can be changed; when red, it is the Lower Tone that is being changed.

2. Use the Tone buttons and the [-] and [+] buttons to select the

Tones.

For more on selecting tones, refer to “Performing with a Variety of Sounds” (p. 14).

■Changing the Keyboard’s Split Point

You can change the location where the keyboard is divided (the split point) within the range of B1 through B6.

This is set to “F 3” when the instrument is turned on.

This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.

1. Hold down the [Split] button and press a key set as the split

point.

The key you pressed becomes the split point, and belongs to the left-hand section of the keyboard.

While the [Split] button is held down, the key being used as the split point appears in the display.

With the [Split] button held down, you can change the value, even by pressing the [-] or [+] button.

Additionally, by holding down the [Split] button and pressing the [-] or [+] button one time, you can display the currently selected value.

When you release the [Split] button, you return to the previous screen.

When the tone of the same Tone button is selected for both the Upper and Lower Tones, you can determine which of the Tones is being changed by the color of the indicators for the [-] and [+] buttons.

You can change the pitch of the Lower Tone an octave at a time. Refer to “Changing the Pitch of the Lower Tone in Octave Steps (Octave Shift)” (p. 39).

The name of the key acting as the split point is indicated in the display, as shown below.

By holding down the [Split] button and pressing both the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting returns to its original value.
