Chapter 5 Layering
8Layering
14
This function lets you layer and play two different
sounds at the same time. You can layer voices of two
different voices in the same category, and create a
composite voice of greater richness and texture.
The primary(main) voice is "Grand Piano" by default.
"L" means that Layer(secondary) sound.
"15" means that voice number (page 13).
t can be set to any number between 0 and 127.
By default, the Layer Volume is setting to 70, which
results in the secondary sound being a little softer than
the primary(main) sound.
You can not change the primary sound volume. It is
always setting to max 127.
The sustain pedal can be enabled or disabled while
you are in layer or split mode. While holding down
the [Layer] button or [Split] button, press the sustain
pedal.
Select the main voice in the usual way with the [Voices],
the [Next] or the [Previous] button if needed.
Then press the [Layer] button and use the [Next] or
the [Previous] button to select a voice to be layered
with the first one.
The secondary(layered) voice is "Strings" by default.
If you want, use the [Volume] button to adjust the
volume balance between two voices in layer mode.

Chapter 6 Splitting
Splitting

Split mode enables you to play two different voices on
the keyboard - one with the left hand and another with
the right hand. For example, you can play a bass part
using the Bass voice with the left hand and a melody
voice with the right hand.
Select the primary voice in the usual way with the [Voices],
the [Next] or the [Previous] button if needed.
The primary(right hand) voice is "Grand Piano" by default.
Then press the [Split] button and use the [Next] or
the [Previous] button to select a split voice.
The secondary(left hand) voice is "Acoustic Bass" by
default.
It is transposed one octave up automatically.
By default the split point is just below "F 3". To change
the split point, use the [Split] button.
While the keyboard is split, hold down the [Split] button
about 3 second and the LED will display "F 3" which is
the default.
To change, press a key on the keyboard until the LED
shows the desired split point.
If you want, use the [Volume] button to adjust the
volume balance between two voices in split mode.
It can be set to any number between 0 and 127.
By default, the Split Volume is setting to 100, which
results in the secondary sound being a little softer than
the primary(main) sound.
You can not change the primary sound volume. It is
always set to max 127.
"P" means that sPlit(secondary) sound.
"11" means that voice number (page 13).

The Dual(Duo) mode allows two different players to
play the instrument, one on the left and one in the
right, over the same octave range.
The keyboard is divided into two sections with the E3
key as Split Point.
The Split Point cannot be changed from E3.
Since Dual(Duo) is designed for two player piano
performance, different voice cannot be assigned to
Left and Right voice.
1) Sustain pedal : Applies sustain to the right section.
2) Sostenuto pedal : Applies sostenuto to both sections.
3) Soft pedal : Applies sustain to the left section.

Various historical temperaments other than
the modern "Equal" can be selected. Available
temperaments are Equal, Pythagorean, Pure
Major, Pure Minor, Mean Tone, Werckmeister III,

10)
You can set Local Control on or off here.
Local Control is the connection between
keyboard and internal sound producing
circuitry (engine). When Local Control is set
to "On", the keyboard delivers your performance
information to the sound engine, so you can
hear the sounds you play. At the same time,
the instrument transmits MIDI information via
its USB port.
There are, however, cases you need to set
Local Control to "Off". When using the
instrument with an external MIDI sequencer
or computer via MIDI, the instrument may
play the same note twice-once by the direct
sound engine connection and once by the
"echo" through the sequencer and coming
back. You can eliminate the echoing of notes
by setting Local Control to "Off" which interrupts
the direct connection. The default setting is
"On".
8)
You can set a playback mode for demo repeat.
The default setting is "All"
1) Off : Demo songs only play once.
2) One : Repeat playing of one song.
3) All : Repeat playing of all songs.

your playing. Available touch sensitivity is Flat,
Hard, Normal, Soft. The default setting is Soft.
