Splitting the Keyboard Range and Playing Two Different Voices (Split mode) Split mode enables you to play two different voices on the keyboard - one with the left hand and another with the right hand. For example, you can play a bass part using the Wood Bass or Electric Bass voice with the left hand, and a melody with the right hand.

The Function mode provides access to a number of other Split mode functions (page 38).

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). An example of split-point key display Dual (page 23) and Split (page 23) modes cannot be engaged simultaneously. A specified "split point" key is included in the left-hand range. The split point can also be set via Function 4 (page 38). (F 2) (G2) (A 2) followed by a high bar if sharp followed by a low bar if flat The split point is initially set at the F 2 key by default. If you do not need to change the split point, skip this procedure. 3. Select a voice for the right hand. Press a voice button. 4. Select a voice for the left hand. Press the corresponding voice button while holding the [SPLIT] button. (The indicator of the Left Voice button will light while the [SPLIT] button is pressed.) 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. [VARIATION] in Split Mode You can turn the variation on or off for Split mode voices. Normally, the voice indicator of the right voice lights in 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. In this state the [VARIATION] button turns the variation for the left voice on or off. [REVERB] in 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 effect.) Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [-/NO] or [+/ YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button - see page 20) will be applied to the right voice only. 24 P-90 Selecting & Playing Voices
