Using Built-in Tones
You can split the keyboard so the left side (lower 
range) plays one tone and the right side (upper range) 
plays a different tone.
Example: To split the keyboard between the GM SLAP 
BASS 1 tone on the left (lower range) and the 
GRAND PIANO tone on the right (upper range).
1.
Press the 
 (SPLIT) button.
This causes the SPLIT lamp to light, indicating that the 
keyboard is split between two tones.
2.
Select the tone you want to assign to the left 
side (lower range) of the keyboard.
Example: To select GM SLAP BASS 1 in the VARIOUS/
GM TONES group, press the 
 (VARIOUS/
GM TONES) button and then use the 
 (w, 
q) buttons to select “073 GM SlapBass1”.
3.
To unsplit the keyboard and return it to a 
single tone, press the 
 (SPLIT) button.
The SPLIT lamp will go out, indicating that the 
keyboard is no longer split.
• If the keyboard is set up with layered tones (page 
E-9) when you perform the above split operation, 
the layered tones will play on the right (upper 
range) side of the keyboard.
Moving the Keyboard Split Point
You can use the procedure below to specify the 
location on the keyboard where it splits between the 
left side and the right side. That location is called the 
“split point”.
1.
Hold down the 
 (SPLIT) button until the 
split point setting screen appears on the 
display as shown below.
2.
Press the keyboard key where you want to 
specify as the leftmost key of the right (upper 
range) tone.
This specifies the split point.
3.
Press the 
 (SPLIT) button.
This exits the split point screen.
