The Split Mode The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard - one with the left hand and another with the right hand. The Left Voice is played on all keys to the left of (and including) a specified "split point" key, while the Right Voice is played on all keys to the right of the split point key. To activate the split mode simply press the [SPLIT] button so that its indicator lights. The split mode can be turned off at any time by pressing the [SPLIT] button again so that its indicator goes out. NOTE • The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time. Selecting the Right and Left Voices The voice that was selected before the split mode was engaged becomes the Right Voice in the split mode. (The Right Voice can also be changed while in the split mode, by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector.) To select a Left Voice press the corresponding voice selector while holding the [SPLIT] button (default: [WOOD BASS]). The indicator of the Left Voice selector will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed, then only the Right Voice selector and [SPLIT] button indicators will remain lit. To turn the variation on or off for the split voice, hold the [SPLIT] button and press the [VARIATION] button or the currently selected voice button. NOTE • [VARIATION] in the Split Mode The variation can be individually turned on and off for the split mode voices. Normally the voice indicator of the Right Voice lights in the split mode. The [VARIATION] can be used to turn the variation for the Right Voice on or off as required. While the [SPLIT] button is held, however, the voice indicator of the Left Voice lights, and in this state the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for the Left Voice on or off as required. • [EFFECT] in the Split Mode Depending upon the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F4 (see page 33) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like. Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NOM] or [+/ YESL] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button - see page 21) will be applied to the Right Voice only. • [REVERB] in the Split Mode The reverb type assigned to the Right Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the Left Voice's reverb type will be in affect.) Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NOM] or [+/ YESL] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button - see page 20) will be applied to the Right Voice only. Setting the Split Point The split point is initially set at the F#2 key by default. You can change the split point to any other key by pressing the key while holding the [SPLIT] button (the name of the current split-point key appears on the LED display while the [SPLIT] button is held). The split point can also be set via the Function mode (see below). Other Split Mode Functions The P-120/P-120S Function mode provides access to a number of other split-mode functions, listed below.
