Roland RD-700SX , Playing Different Tones in Two Different Sections of the Keyboard ([SPLIT])

38
Performing with the Keyboard
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.” While in Split
Play, a sound played in the right side is called an “Upper Tone,” and the sound
played in the left side is called a “Lower Tone.” The split-point key is included in the
LOWER section.
The Split Point has been set at the factory to “B3.”

Playing Different Tones in Two Different Sections of
the Keyboard ([SPLIT])
Pressing Two TONE SELECT buttons Simultaneously
* Keep [NUM LOCK] off when carrying out this operation.
Even without pressing the ZONE SWITCH buttons, you can layer two tones by
pressing two TONE SELECT buttons simultaneously.
For example, if you want to layer a piano sound with strings, together press both
[PIANO] and [STRINGS].
The [UPPER1] and [UPPER2] indicator automatically light up, and when you begin
playing the keyboard, the piano and strings sounds are layered together.
When this is done, the tone for the button that is pressed down first is assigned to
UPPER1, and the other tone is assigned to UPPER2. The UP1 and UP2 Part names
are both highlighted in the screen, with both Parts being selected.
Once you have selected two TONE SELECT buttons, pressing either TONE SELECT
button then selects that tone as the [UPPER 1] tone. The [UPPER 2] indicator goes
out, and that tone stops playing.
* The above procedure is enabled only when the [UPPER 1] or [UPPER 2] ZONE SELECT
button is selected.
