Turning On Layer and Split Performance Simultaneously

Turning on both layer performance and split performance allows you to split the

keyboard into two sections while playing two layered Tones in the right-hand part.

Shifting the Keyboard Pitch in Octave Steps
(Octave Shift)

When using layer performance (p. 30) or split performance (p. 31), you can change

the pitch of the keyboard’s sound in octave units. This function is called “Octave

Shift.”

For example, when using a layer performance, you can change the pitch of each

sound and layer the sounds. You can make the pitch of the keyboard’s left-hand part

match the pitch of the right-hand part during split performance.

1.

On the Basic screen, touch <Layer> or <Split>.

The KR switches to layer performance or split performance.

2.

To apply Octave Shift, touch the name of the tone you’ve selected.

3.

Press the Tone button to display the Tone selection screen.

4.

Touch Octave <-> or <+> in the lower part of the screen to adjust the

pitch of the sound.

Each time you touch <+>, the pitch is raised one octave.

Each time you touch <->, the pitch is lowered one octave.

The sound can be changed from two octaves lower than the original sound (-2) to

two octaves above the original (+2).

Touch <Exit> to return to the Basic screen or the previous screen.

When the keyboard has been

divided into upper and lower

sections, the damper pedal is

applied to only the upper

section. If you want to add

lingering reverberations to the

notes of the lower section, see

“Assigning Functions to

Pedals and Performance Pads

(Pedal Setting/User

Functions)” (p. 157).

You cannot use Octave Shift

when using a single tone for

the entire keyboard or in the

right-hand Tone during layer

performances.
