Chapter 1 Performance

Turning On Layer and Split Performance Simultaneously

Turning on both layer performance and split performance allows you to split the keyboard into two sections while playing two layered Tones in the right-hand part.

■ Shifting the Keyboard Pitch in Octave Steps (Octave Shift)

When using layer performance (p. 30) or split performance (p. 31), you can change the pitch of the keyboard’s sound in octave units. This function is called “Octave Shift.”

For example, when using a layer performance, you can change the pitch of each sound and layer the sounds. You can make the pitch of the keyboard’s left-hand part match the pitch of the right-hand part during split performance.

Chapter 1

When the keyboard has been divided into upper and lower sections, the damper pedal is applied to only the upper section. If you want to add lingering reverberations to the notes of the lower section, see “Assigning Functions to Pedals and Performance Pads (Pedal Setting/User Functions)” (p. 157).

You cannot use Octave Shift when using a single tone for the entire keyboard or in the right-hand Tone during layer performances.
