Playing with Different Tones 
Playing a Piano Duet
You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet. The left and right side keyboards have virtually the same range. The left pedal operates as the left side damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side damper pedal.
This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for example, the teacher can play on the left and the student can follow along on the right. Or one person can play the left hand part on the left, while another plays the right hand part on the right.

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 METRONOME 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)
