KEYBOARD

SPLIT

Initial

Keyboard

Split

Setting

When

the

FM

Sound

Synthesizer

is

first

accessed with the

"Call

Music"

command,

the

keyboard

is

split

as

shown

below.

Keys

to

the

right

of the

C2

center

key

play the

mono

voice;

those

to

the

left

play the

poly

voice.

Since

this

is

an

8-note

polyphonic

synthesizer,

1

mono

note

and

7

poly

notes

(total

8 the entire

keyboard) can be played

simultane-

ously.

Changing

the

Keyboard

Split

Point

Changing

the

keyboard

split

point

is

a

simple, 2-step

process.

First,

engage the

split

function

by

pressing

the

"K"

key

on

the

CX5M

keyboard.

The word

"YAMAHA"

at

the

lower

right

portion of the screen

will

change

to

"K.SPLIT".

Next,

select a

key

on

the

Music Keyboard and

press

it.

This

becomes

the

new

poly/mono

split

point.

The word

"K.

SPLIT"

changes back

to

"YAMAHA".

All

keys to the

right

of the

split

point

will

play the

mono

voice,

and

all

keys to

the

left

of

it,

including the

key

pressed,

will

play the

poly

voice.

Swapping

Poly

and

Mono

It's

not always

desirable to

have

the

right

hand

playing

in

mono

and

the

left

hand

in

poly, so

it's

possible to

swap

them

back and

forth.

Just

press

the

"U"

key

on

the

CX5M

keyboard,

and

the Poly

and

Mono

sections

of the

Music

Keyboard

will

be

reversed,

without changing

the

split

point.

This allows

you,

for

example,

to

play

bass

notes

in

mono

with the

left

hand,

and

piano chords

in

poly with

the

right.

Setting

It's

also possible

to

set

the

keyboard

for

Play.

monophonic

play.

To

do

this,

first

press

the

'K" key on

the

CX5M

keyboard

as

you would

for setting

the

split

point.

Then,

press

the lowest

key

on

the

Music

Keyboard, and

all

keys

will

play the

mono

voice.

If

you

wish

to play

the

entire

keyboard

polyphonically,

swap

mono

and

poly with the

"U"

key.

In this

way,

the

entire

keyboard

(except the

end

key)

can be

set

for

fully

poly-

phonic or

fully

monophonic

play,

with

a single voice.
