You can also choose the tone to change by continuing to hold
down the [Split] button.
* If the sound is no longer heard after you press the [Split] button,
it could mean that Local Control has been switched off (see p.
26). If this is the case, set Local Control to “on.”
2. Use the Tone buttons and the [Variation] button to
choose a tone.

Canceling Split Play
A newly selected lower tone gets stored in memory as being
the lower tone that goes with the upper tone being used at
that time. The next time you change to split play while that
upper tone is selected, the tone you've stored in memory
here is sounded as the lower tone. The lower tone stored in
memory remains in effect until you turn off the power.
You can change the split point. Take a look at
“Changing the Keyboard’s Split Point” (p. 15).
You can change the volume balance for the
upper and lower tones. Take a look at
“Changing the Volume Balance for Dual Play
and Split Play” (p. 19).
You can change the pitch of the lower tone one
octave at a time. Check out “Setting the Pitch of
the Lower Tone in Octave Steps—Octave Shift”
(p. 21).
Depressing a pedal during split play applies its
effect only to the upper tone. If you want to
apply the effect to the lower tone as well, check
out “Setting Whether to Apply Effects to the
Lower Tone” (p. 20).
