Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms
Performing With the Chord Progression
Specified in the Left Hand (Rhythm Split Play)
Performing with the keyboard divided at a certain key into a left side and a
right side is called “Split Play.”
When using the Rhythm while Split Play is in effect, you can specify the
chords with the keys in the left part of the keyboard.

Specify the chord in the left part of the keyboard, and perform the melody
in the right side.
It is not necessary to continue holding down the keys for chords in the left

chord is played.
When specifying chords, sounds from the left side of the keyboard are not
played.

NOTE
When specifying the
chords in the left part of the
keyboard, Dual Play (p. 15)
is disabled in the right part.
The point at which the
keyboard is divided is
called the “split point”; you
can also change this split
point. For more
information, take a look at
“Changing the Keyboard’s
Split Point” (p. 17).
You can specify chords
simply with your finger,
even without playing the
keys for all the chords’
constituent notes. For more
information about chord
fingering, refer to the “Chord
Fingering List” (p. 52).
