Press the [SPLIT] button.

The button’s indicator will light.
The keyboard is divided into right-hand and left-hand areas.
The tone played on the right side is the tone in use before the [SPLIT] button is
pressed, while the bass tone is played on the left side.
To cancel Split play, press the [SPLIT] button, getting its indicator to go dark.

Changing tone played by the left hand

Press the [VARIATION] button.

Each time you press the [VARIATION] button, the button’s indicator will change
color, and the left-hand tone will change.
Some tones assign the tone that had been selected before you pressed the [SPLIT]
button to the left hand area of the keyboard.

Changing tone played by the right hand

Press the TONE SELECT button.

The tone of the right-hand area will change. A tone that is a suitable match for the
right-hand tone will be selected for the left-hand area.
If you want to change the variation for the right-hand tone, cancel Split play and then
re-select the tone.

When using Dual play,
press the [SPLIT] button
The right hand will play the
tone of the left button of Dual
play, and the left hand will
play a suitable match for the
right-hand tone.
When Split play is used, only
tone numbers 1 or 2 can be
selected.
If you use Split play with a
Tone button for which tone
numbers 3 selected, tone
number 1 will be selected for
that Tone button.
For information about the tones
that can be selected for the left
hand section, refer to the “Tone
List” (p. 42).
The selected left hand tone is
remembered for each TONE
SELECT button. When you
turn off the power, it will
return to the original setting.
