The SPLIT key activates the split of the sounds on the keyboards 
(layer). When the SPLIT key is active, the 
first layer is active on the left side of the 
split point, the second on the right. When 
the SPLIT key is not active, the two layers 
cover the whole range of the keyboard, are both active and working. 
To change the split point: press the SPLIT key until the display 
flashes and indicates the split note on the display. Pressing the 
desired key as a new split point the value is selected and indicated 
on the display. Pressing SPLIT again the new point is stored and the 
number of Performance appears again. 
To eliminate the split point press the SPLIT key again. 
 
The TRANSPOSE key is used to transpose the keyboard tune. 
Pressing it shortly the function is activated, and pressing the key 
again the function is cancelled. Pressing TRANSPOSE for at least two 
seconds you can change the transpose interval, acting on the 
encoder. The values go from –12 to +12 (they correspond to 1 
octave up and one down), and they are visualized on the display. 
 
The STORE key enables the STORE Mode: this is the memory save 
mode for the editing on a Performance (see the specific chapter). 
 
Under the encoder we find the PERFORMANCE and EDIT keys.  
 
When we switch on the instrument, or we play normally, the 
keyboard is in PERFORMANCE mode; it is possible 
to access the EDIT mode when we press the EDIT 
key, to modify or set some parameters. Pressing 
PERFORMANCE we go back to the Performance 
mode again. 
 
With the EDIT mode we can set all parameters included in a 
Performance. 
On the right side of the control panel, we find the timbre/parameter 
selection matrix. The controls act on the layer selected with the 
LAYER SELECTION keys.
