CHANGING THE SPLIT POINT

The Split Point is:

a)the point that separates the Upper and Lower keyboard sections in Style/Preset mode and,

b)the point below which the keyboard recog- nizes chords which trigger the Style automatic accompaniments (in One Finger and Fin- gered chord recognition modes).

The current Split Point setting can be viewed in the MODE/SPLIT POINT display by holding pressed the EASY PLAY button for about 2 sec- onds. The setting can be modified as required.

1.Press and hold EASY PLAY/SPLIT to open the op- tion page.

2.Press Function button F7 or F8 to activate the Split Point function.

3.Rotate the DIAL or play a note on the keyboard (corresponding to the highest note of the Lower split zone) to modify the setting.

The new Split Point is shown in the display. If you entered the wrong note, simply play another.

4.Press ENTER to confirm the new Split Point and close the display. Press ESCAPE if you want to cancel the operation (and retain the original set- ting).

▶ Note: The Split Point is a general parameter (not linked to a particular Preset) which is conserved in memory when the instrument is turned off. The new setting is lost when the “Restore Original Block” operation is carried out or if the back-up memory loses its data due to the total discharge of the battery.
