Playing different tones with the left & right hands (Split)

Dividing the keyboard into right-hand and left-hand areas, then playing different sounds in each is called “Split performance.” The boundary key is called the “split point.” The split point key is part of the left-hand keyboard area.

Split performance can be used only with Tones numbered “1” or “2” (see the table on page 11). If you use Split performance with a Tone numbered “3” or “4”, Tone “1” will automatically be selected for that Tone button.
