Split Programs
In split mode, playing a key on the left side of the keyboard will play the
Layer A sound and playing a key on the right side will play the Layer B
sound. Polyphony is allocated equally between the two sounds, with half
of the available voices on Layer A and half on Layer B.
The specific key that starts the Layer B sound is called the split point ,
and is saved with the program.
All factory programs have a “B” layer, even if that layer isn’t currently enabled.
To turn Split on:
• If it’s not currently lit, press the
split
button. The button becomes lit.
The left side of the keyboard plays the Layer A sound and the right side
of the keyboard plays the Layer B sound.
To turn Split off:
• If it’s currently lit, press the
split
button. The button becomes unlit.
Only the program on Layer A is heard across the full range of the
keyboard.
To set the split point:
1. Press and hold down a key on the keyboard.
2. Press the
split
button. This sets the start point for Layer B.
3. Play a few notes to confirm that the split is where you want it.
4. If you want to re-set the split to a different note, disable split by press-
ing the
split
button again, then repeat steps 1 and 2.
You can also press the
edit b layer
button and set the split point with Soft Knob 4.
