Playing Two Tones on the Keyboard
The setting that determines whether one or two Tones are played by a key 
is referred to as “Key Mode.” There are three Key modes.
Single: The same Tone is played by all keys on the keyboard. This is the 
normal playing mode.
Split: One key acts as the division point (the “split point”) separating the 
keyboard into left- and right-hand sides, with a different Tone 
played in each.
Dual: Two Tones can be layered together.

In Split, two Parts are used. These are referred to as the “Upper Part” and 
the “Lower Part.” The tone data for the currently selected parts appears in 
the display.
The above figure shows an example where Part 1 is used for the Upper Part, 
and Part 16 is used for the Lower Part.
The split point is set to C4 at the factory. The upper range of the keyboard, 
including C4, plays the tone in the Upper Part, and the Lower Part Tone is 
played in the range below C4.
Different Key Mode 
settings can be made for 
each individual 
Performance.
In some Preset 
Performances, Key Mode is 
set to Split or Dual 
(Performance List, p. 147). 
Try switching 
Performances (p. 56) and 
listening to the various 
combinations of tones.
