Playing with Different Tones
E-9
You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
The left and right side keyboards have virtually the
same range. The left pedal operates as the left side
damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side
damper pedal.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons,
with the teacher playing on the left side as the student
playing the same song on the right side.
NOTE
• Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard
supports half-pedal operations.
1.
Select the piano tone you want to use for the
duet.
Example:
GRAND PIANO (MODERN)
2.
While holding down the
FUNCTION
button,
press the
ELEC PIANO
button to toggle duet
on (lamp lit) and off (lamp unlit).
IMPORTANT!
• You cannot use the Duet Mode while recording
(page E-12).
Changing the Octaves of the duet
keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right
keyboards in octave units from their initial default
settings. This comes in handy, for example, if the initial
default range is not enough when one person is
playing the left hand part and another person is
playing the right hand part.
1.
While holding down the
FUNCTION
and
ELEC PIANO
buttons, press the keyboard
C key that you want located at C4 (middle C)
of the left keyboard.
• This will sound the note assigned to C4 and change
the octave of the left keyboard.
Example:
Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C (C4)
will assign the range shown below.
2.
While holding down the
FUNCTION
and
ELEC PIANO
buttons, press the keyboard
C key that you want located at C4 (middle C)
of the right keyboard.
• This will sound the note assigned to C4 and change
the octave of the right keyboard.
NOTE
• You can return the keyboards to their initial default
ranges by exiting and then re-entering the Duet
Mode.
