VOICE PLAY MODE
2.
Release the [SPLIT] button.
After a moment, the Split voice names will reappear in the screen.
The split point will remain where you set it until you change it again, even if
you exit and reenter Split mode.
As you change the split point you can specify whether the main voice will
play above or below the split point.
In general, 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. For example, say you’re playing a song where the verses and
choruses call for a piano in the bass and strings on top, and an instrumental
part calls for a piano solo that sweeps from one end of the keyboard to
another. 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 for the verses and choruses to Single mode form the solo, then
back to split mode again, simply by pressing the [SPLIT] button.
CHANGING MAIN AND SUB KEYBOARD AREAS
1.
Hold the [SPLIT] button, then press and hold the split point
key.
2.
Press a second key below or above the split point key.
The SPLIT AREA screen appears.
As you hold the [SPLIT] button and split point key, pressing a second key
below the split point will designate the left area of the keyboard as the main
area. Pressing a second key above the split point will again designate the
right area of the keyboard as the main area.
Note that the key that you press to select the split point will always be
included in the main keyboard area. Thus, if you select F4 as the split point
and then set the main keyboard area below this point, the main voice will
play all notes up to and including F4, whereas the sub voice will play all
notes from F#4 on. If you set the main keyboard area above this point,
however, the sub voice will play all notes up to E4, and the main voice will
play all notes from F4 on.
When you select voices in Split
mode, the P-150 will apply the main
voice reverb type and depth setting
and modulation type and speed
setting to both voices, and ignore any
settings which you may have made
for the sub voice. (For more
information about main and sub
voices, see page 25.)
