Performing with the Keyboard

Playing Different Tones in Two Different Sections of the Keyboard ([SPLIT])

Such a division of the keyboard into right- and left-hand sections is called a “Split,” and the key where the division takes place is called the “Split Point.”The split-point key is included in the UPPER section.

The Split Point has been set at the factory to “C4.”

You can change the split

point.

Please refer to “Changing

the Keyboard’s Split

Point” (p. 44).
