Selecting & Playing Voices 3 Select a Voice for the right side. Use the corresponding Voice button to make your selection. 4 Select a Voice for the left side. Use the corresponding Voice button with the [SPLIT] button held down to make your selection. (Whenever the [SPLIT] button is being held down, the Voice button corresponding to the left side's Voice will light up.) Play the keyboard and listen to the sounds produced. When you activate Split mode, the Voices' octave settings and volume balance in addition to their reverb and effect types and depths will be automatically optimized. If necessary, however, you can change these settings using the corresponding Function parameters (page 40). Furthermore, these settings can be changed individually for the left and right Voices. 5 Leave Split mode. Press the [SPLIT] button once again and verify that its light goes out. Adding reverb Using the digital piano's Reverb function, you can add reverberation similar to that of a concert hall to individual Voices.

Setting the reverb type Whenever you press and release the [REVERB] button, the current reverb type will be shown on the display. You can then cycle through the different types by pressing the [REVERB] button the required number of times.
