PSR-450 Owner’s Manual
STEP 4 • Try Out the Various Instrument Voices
Quick Guide
When you select any of the “split” voices (126 ~
135) different voices will sound in the left-hand
and right-hand ranges of the keyboard. If you
select voice number 126, for example, you can
play acoustic bass with the left hand and grand
piano with the right.
As shown in the above illustration the key that divides the left- and right-hand keyboard ranges is known as the
“split point.” The initial default split point is set at key number 54 (F#2), but you can change this setting to suit
your own playing style by following the procedure described in “Changing the Split Point,” below.

As mentioned above, selecting a voice number between 126 and 135 will split the key-
board allowing you to play different voices with the left and right hands. When any other
voice is selected you can instantly recall the last split voice selected (126 ~ 135) simply
by pressing the [SPLIT] button.

The keyboard is divided into left- and right-hand ranges at the “split point.
When a style is selected and accompaniment is on, the keys to the left of the split point function as the accompa-
niment range in which you play chords to define the accompaniment (page 19). When accompaniment is off, the
split point separates the left- and right-hand instruments in the split voices (126 ~ 135).
The initial default split point is set at key number 54 (F#2), but you can change this setting to suit your own play-
ing requirements.
