Changing the Octaves of the duet keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right keyboards in octave units from their initial default settings. This comes in handy, for example, if the initial default range is not enough when one person is playing the left hand part and another person is playing the right hand part.
1. While holding down the FUNCTION and ELEC PIANO buttons, press the keyboard C key that you want located at C4 (middle C) of the left keyboard.
Example: Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C (C4) will assign the range shown below.
