Changing the split point

By adjusting the location of the split point, you can adjust the note ranges of the main and sub keyboard areas to suit

the parts you’re playing. Also, the adjustment operation also allows you to specify whether the main voice will play

above or below the split point. The main keyboard area is normally above the split point. However, there may be cases

when you’ll want to play the main voice below the split point.

Imagine, for example, a song arrangement which calls for you to play the vibes with a piano bass line. The P-100’s

Split mode can handle this requirement quite well. After the bridge, however, there is a flashy piano solo with

sweeping runs that take you from one end of the keyboard to the other. You can do this by selecting the piano as the

main voice, and assigning it to the lower keyboard area. You will then be able to switch from Split mode to the Single

mode for the solo, then back to Split mode again, by simply pressing the [SPLIT] button.

To change the split point, press the key on the keyboard where you

want to locate the split point while holding down the [SPLIT]

button. To set the split point at F4, for example, you would press

the F4 key while holding down the [SPLIT] button.

The new split point setting will then appear in the display.

(You can also raise or lower the current split point setting one

semitone at a time by pressing the [-l] or [+l] buttons while

holding down the [SPLIT] button.)

If you want to change the location of the main keyboard area, you must do so when you change the split point. This is

done by simply pressing a key above or below the split point.

To play the main voice below the split point, for example, first set

the split point as described above. Then, while still holding the

[SPLIT] button and the split point key, press a key anywhere below

the split point on the keyboard.

The dot which appear in the display will move to a position just

after the letter.
