3. To cancel the split sound, press the SPLIT button,
or press either the KEYBOARDS or ENSEMBLE
button to return to single sound mode.
The SPLIT button will go dark.
When using layered sound, pressing the SPLIT button will switch
to a split sound.
Press the SPLIT button once more (the button will go dark) to
switch to layered sound.
The ENSEMBLE program will be assigned to the lower part of
the keyboard (lower note range), and the KEYBOARDS program
will be assigned to the higher part of the keyboard (higher note
range).
Note:
When setting a split sound, if the SPLIT button is
pressed to turn split sound OFF, the Grandstage will
return to the mode it was in before entering split sound
mode.
However, if you select a favorite that uses split sound,
only the KEYBOARDS section will turn on when the
SPLIT button is OFF, and the keyboard will return to
single mode.
Tip:
When creating a split sound with two programs from the
ENSEMBLE section, select the ENSEMBLE category for
the KEYBOARDS program. When creating a split sound
with two programs from the KEYBOARDS section, select
the KEYBOARDS category for the ENSEMBLE program.
Split point
The lowest note of the upper part on the keyboard is called the
“split point”. The split point is set to C4 by factory default.
Changing the split point
• While holding down the SPLIT button, press the key (on the
keyboard) where you want the split point to be.
You can save the split point that you have changed, as a split
sound in a favorite. Note that the split point will return to the
default setting of C4 if you return to single sound mode before
saving, or when you turn off the power.

Switching upper and lower keyboard parts
• Pressing the SWAP button to make the button light will allow
you to switch the sounds used on the upper part (higher note
range) and lower part (lower note range) of the keyboard in
split sound mode.

Although you will be able to change or edit sounds after pressing
SWAP, be careful to remember that the higher note range
is the ENSEMBLE section, and the lower note range is the
KEYBOARDS section—the left and right sides of the keyboard
have been swapped.
Pressing the SWAP button once more will cause the button to
go dark, and the sounds on the upper and lower sides of the
keyboard will return to the way the sections are labeled on the
panel.
Saving a favorite that has been
changed
Favorites that have been changed will return to their previous
saved state, if you select a different favorite or turn off the power.
Be sure to write any favorites that you have changed to memory
if you want to save them, by using the following steps.
1. Press the WRITE button once you are finished
with editing.
The WRITE and EXIT buttons will blink.
2. If you wish to overwrite the current favorite,
simply press the WRITE button.
The WRITE and EXIT buttons will go dark, and writing will
be finished.
To cancel the write operation, press the EXIT button.
3. To save to a different favorite, press the new bank
and number buttons where you want the favorite
to be saved.
4. Press the WRITE button.
The WRITE and EXIT buttons will go dark, and writing will
be finished.
Tip:
When you press a bank or number button during the
write operation, the selected program in the favorite to
be saved will be shown on the display, until you release
the button. You can use this to check the contents of the
favorite location you are saving to. This function is useful
for making sure that it’s all right to overwrite the desired
favorite location.
Editing a program
You can make basic adjustments to the sound and effects of the
programs you select. Edited programs can be saved as a favorite.
