Playing Different Tones with the Left and Right Hands (Split Performance)

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 included in the left-hand keyboard area. Each time power to the keyboard is turned on, the split point is reset to “F#3.”
