If you have the Sk1, Sk1-73, or Sk1-88:
Although the Sk1 keyboard is a single-keyboard instrument, it can be made to function in a manner similar to an instrument
with two keyboards and a pedal keyboard, such as an organ. This is the reason for the references to UPPER, LOWER and
PEDAL on the instrument.
On an organ, the UPPER Keyboard is usually used for the melody, and is played with the right hand. The LOWER
Keyboard is usually used to provide accompaniment, or harmonic support for the melody and is played by the left hand.
The PEDAL Keyboard, or clavier, is used to play the bass notes and is most commonly played by the left foot.
On the Sk1, this playing style is replicated by partitioning or “splitting” the single 61-note keyboard into two parts. The
part played by the right hand is referred to as the UPPER Keyboard, while the part played by the left hand is referred to
as the LOWER Keyboard.
The SPLIT Touch Tab, located on the right of the control panel, is used to divide the
keyboard into Upper and Lower Keyboards. Normally, the third “C” key counting from
the left on the keyboard marks the dividing point between the Upper and Lower
Keyboard.
IMPORTANT NOTE: "C3" is the default Split point; however, you can relocate
the Split point elsewhere on the keyboard. This is explained later in this Guide.
