Select a Voice for the right side.
Use the corresponding Voice button to make your
selection.

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 pro-
duced.
When you activate Split mode, the Voices’ octave
settings and volume balance in addition to their
reverb and effect types and depths will be auto-
matically 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.

Leave Split mode.
Press the [SPLIT] button once again and verify
that its light goes out.
Using the digital piano’s Reverb function, you can add
reverberation similar to that of a concert hall to indi-
vidual Voices. Whenever you select a Voice, the most
suitable reverb will be automatically set; however, you
can freely set the reverb type and depth.
Setting the reverb type
Whenever you press and release the [REVERB] but-
ton, the current reverb type will be shown on the dis-
play. You can then cycle through the different types by
pressing the [REVERB] button the required number
of times.

[+/YES] buttons with the [REVERB] button held

•Available settings: 0 (no effect) to 20 (maximum reverb depth)
To restore the Voice to its default reverb depth, press
the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons together with the
[REVERB] button held down.

With this setting, no reverb is applied to the
Voice and the [REVERB] button’s light will

soundboard resonance effect similar to that
of an acoustic piano will still be applied to
certain Voices—specifically, Grand Piano,
Live Grand, Ballad Grand, and Bright
Grand.
