Changing the Octaves of the duet
keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right

settings. This comes in handy, for example, if the initial
default range is not enough when one person is
playing the left hand part and another person is
playing the right hand part.

METRONOME buttons, press the keyboard

of the left keyboard. Keep

METRONOME depressed as you advance to
step 2, below.
• This will sound the note assigned to C4 and change
the octave of the left keyboard.
Example: Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C (C4)
will assign the range shown below.

While still holding down the FUNCTION and
METRONOME buttons, press the keyboard
C key that you want located at C4 (middle C)
