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.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons, with the teacher playing on the left side as the student playing the same song on the right side.

Changing the Octaves of the 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 MODERN and
CLASSIC GRAND PIANO buttons, press the
keyboard key of C that you want located at C4 (middle C) of the left keyboard.
Example: Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C will assign the range shown below.
