The Accompaniment section
This section provides functions which control and
simplify Style playing.
EASY PLAY / SPLIT
EASY PLAY/SPLIT is a dual action button.
When this button is on (LED on), all the accom-
paniment parts of a Style are enabled. If it is not
on, you will only hear the Drum track when a Style
is started.
SPLIT: If you hold EASY PLAY pressed for about
2 seconds, the display presents two options to
choose from: MODE and SPLIT POINT.
MODE: This function allows you to choose from
two keyboard modes : FULL and SPLIT.
When FULL MODE is set, the Upper 1 and/or
Upper 2 keyboard sections are assigned to the
full keyboard while the Lower section is disabled.
This allows you to play Styles with the keyboard
sounds over the full keyboard range. If you at-
tempt to activate the Lower keyboard section by
pressing the LOWER button, the display shows
a user-message informing that Lower is disabled
in Full Mode.
When SPLIT MODE is set, the Lower section is
enabled and allows you to play Styles with one
real time sound on the Left hand and one or two
different Sounds on the right. If Easy Play is on
and Lower is off, the Upper sections do not ex-
tend over the full keyboard. If Easy Play is off
and Lower is off, the Upper 1 and Upper 2 sec-
tions extend over the full keyboard range.
The Mode setting can be memorized to the Pre-
sets.
How to set the keyboard mode is detailed on page
15 in chapter 4 “Sounds & Presets” of the User
Guide.
SPLIT POINT
This option allows you to set a new chord split
point for the Styles and, therefore, the chord rec-
ognition area of the keyboard, extending or short-
ening it as required.
The Split Point is a general setting which is not
stored to the Presets, but remains memorized
until changed again.
See “How to set a new Split Point” on page 13.
PIANO STYLE
PS1500 can recognize the chords used in the
automatic accompaniment in various different
ways. These are: One Finger, Fingered 1, Fin-
gered 2 and Free. These four options are se-
lected in the PIANO STYLE menu which is acti-
vated by holding down the PIANO STYLE button
for about 2 seconds.
See “The Chord Recognition Modes” on page 11.
