The keyboard is divided into right-hand and left-hand areas.

Press the Tone button.
 
The tone of the right-hand area will change. A tone that is a suitable match

If you want to change the variation for the right-hand tone, cancel Split play 
and then re-select the tone.
The split point key is 
included in the left-hand 
keyboard area.
If you use Split play with a 
Tone button for which 
tone numbers 3 or 4 
selected, tone number 1 
will be selected for that 
Tone button.
When Split play is used, 
only tone numbers 1 or 2 
can be selected.

The right hand will play the 
tone of the left button of 
Dual play, and the left hand 
will play a suitable match

For information about the 
tones that can be selected for 
the left hand section, refer to 
the “Tone List” (p. 40).
The selected left hand tone

pedal will be applied only

keyboard. If you want the 
damper pedal to be applied 
to the left-hand area, refer 
to “Applying the Damper 
Pedal to the Left-hand 
Keyboard Area” (p. 33)
