Chapter 1 Playing the Keyboard
Performing With Different Tones in the Left and
Right Sides of the Keyboard (Split Play)
Performing with the keyboard divided at a certain key into a left side and a
right side is called “Split Play,” and the point at which the keyboard is
divided is called the “split point.”
In Split Play, you can have a different tone sound in the left and right sides.
When the instrument is turned on, the split point is set to “F 3.” The split
point key is included in the left side.
While in Split Play, a sound played in the right side is called an “Upper
Tone,” and the sound played in the left side is called a “Lower Tone.”
Example: Let’s try split play with the piano tones.
