Playing KEYBOARD SPLIT Sounds

The Concertmate 575’s KEYBOARD SPLIT sounds (No’s. 90-99 in the SOUNDS list) let you play two different sounds on opposite halves of the key- board, so the first 24 keys on the left side of the keyboard (“low-end keys”) play one sound, and the remaining 25 keys on the right (“high-end keys”) play the other sound.

For example, BASS/PIANO (No. 91) plays a bass sound on the low-end keys and a piano sound on the high- end keys.

To play a KEYBOARD SPLIT sound, follow the steps listed in “Selecting/ Playing a Preset Sound” and select any sound from 90 to 99 in Step 3. Then play the low- and high-end keys to hear the different sounds.
