Playing with Different Tones
E-11
You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
The left and right side keyboards have virtually the
same range. The left pedal operates as the left side
damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side
damper pedal.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons,
with the teacher playing on the left side as the student
playing the same song on the right side.
NOTE
• Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard
supports half-pedal operations.
1. Press one of the GRAND PIANO buttons
(MODERN or CLASSIC) to select the piano
tone you want to use for the duet.
NOTE
• You can use only the MODERN or CLASSIC tone for a
duet.
2. Press the MODERN and CLASSIC GRAND
PIANO buttons at the same time.
• This will enter the Duet Mode and split the keyboard.
The GRAND PIANO lamp will flash momentarily to
let you know when the Duet Mode is entered.
3. To exit the Duet Mode, press either the
MODERN or CLASSIC GRAND PIANO
button.
IMPORTANT!
• The digital piano also will exit the Duet Mode if you use
the TONE/SETTING button and tone setting keyboard
keys to select a tone in step 3.
• You cannot use the Duet Mode while recording.
Changing the Octaves of the Keyboards
You can change the ranges of the left and right
keyboards in octave units from their initial default
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.
1. While holding down the MODERN and
CLASSIC GRAND PIANO buttons, press the
keyboard key of C that you want located at
C4 (middle C) of the left keyboard.
Example: Press the keyboard key of the leftmost C will
assign the range shown below.
2. While holding down the MODERN and
CLASSIC GRAND PIANO buttons, press the
keyboard key of C that you want located at
C4 (middle C) of the right keyboard.
NOTE
• You can return the keyboards to their initial default
ranges by exiting and then re-entering the Duet Mode.
