Playing a Duet

You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet. 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.
