This function allows you to set the same range of notes for the right and left sides of the keyboard. Switch the function ON or OFF. Select “Pan” to switch on the Duet function. This sets the left side of the keyboard to play out of the left speaker and the right side of the keyboard to play out of the right speaker.
- When the option 3-pedal unit (SP-34) is used, the center pedal can be used for both left and right keyboards. Only the pedal for the right side of the keyboard supports half-pedal operations.
- If the SP-3 included is used, connecting it to the DAMPER PEDAL port or EXPRESSION/ASSIGNABLE port allows it to be used as a damper pedal for both left and right keyboards. This pedal acts as a damper pedal regardless of the type of pedal effect selected. Half-pedal operation is not supported.
