PLAYING TWO VOICES — SPLIT VOICE

In the Split Voice mode, you can assign two different Voices to opposite sections of the keyboard, and play one Voice with your left hand while your right plays another. For example, you could play bass with the left hand and play piano with the right. The right-hand (or upper) Voice is selected in the Main Voice mode (page 27), and the left-hand (or lower) Voice is selected in the Split Voice mode, as described below.

•Since the “FUNCTION” indication flashes for only a couple of seconds, make sure to select the parameter quickly after step 1 above.

•For the Split voice to be heard properly, make sure to:

* Set the volume to an appropriate level (#21, Split Volume).

* Set the octave to a musically appropriate setting (#22 Split Octave). For example, a bass voice might best be played with a “-1” setting, while a strings voice might sound best at “1.”

* Set the desired Split Point (#29). For most purposes, however, the default Split Point of “059” (Main voice starts at middle C) is suitable. (See the “Param- eters” list below for details.)

These settings are not saved when you turn off the power. If you wish to save them, save them to a User bank in the One Touch Setting feature (page 72).
