Playing with Different Tones
E-13
You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for
example, the teacher can play on the left and the
student can follow along on the right. Or one person
can play the left hand part on the left, while another
plays the right hand part on the right.

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.

While holding down the
FUNCTION
and
METRONOME
buttons, press the keyboard C
key that you want located at C4 (middle C) of
the left keyboard. Keep
FUNCTION
and
METRONOME
depressed as you advance to
step 2, below.
Example:
Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C (C4)
will assign the range shown below.
2.
While still holding down the
FUNCTION
and
METRONOME
buttons, press the keyboard C
key that you want located at C4 (middle C) of
the right keyboard.
NOTE

You can return the keyboards to their initial default
ranges by exiting and then re-entering the Duet
Mode.
