hi guys,how do you manage with the splitpoint ,do you set it and leave it or are you forever changing it ,i have learnt a lot of the chords and some of the inversions but still have problems sometimes,,,i would like your views many thanks,,,,mike

I set my PSR 2000 split point A+L at B2 and leave it there most of the time. It seems to work well with a lot of styles that Joe Waters customizes for the PSR 2000 using the OTS along with the styles. Other styles work well too and it gives me a broad range for both left hand and right hand. I have to keep an eye on the split point though as some styles with OTS will change my split point settings and use a different split point altogether causing me to have to reset it to my original setting afterwards. It doesn't happen very often but it happens. It's no biggie though.

Best regards,
Mike

I usually keep A+L at F#2/G2 except for a small number of songs that I play in C with the root at C2, like a Whiter Shade Of Pale, so that I have room to move to the left in the accompaniment. In that case I set the split at C/C#3.

B2 seems to work best for me also, and I too use a fair number of Joe Waters tuned styles.

hi guys,yes i normally set the splitpoint to B2 but sometimes if your using C root and then change to inversion EGC in the same piece of music ,is where the problems come up ,maybe this is my lack of experience,thanks again,mike

I always use F#2 unless I want to play full keyboard.

I set mine to B2 and that's where it stays.

Never used it. My keyboards have always been set to full fingering.

Though I'd prefer to play in full keyboard mode, Yamaha's full keyboard mode chord recognition limitations (for me) prevent this. On the Tyros & PSR2000, I always play in split mode with BOTH left & right parts sounding. I keep the split point set to F#2 as I'm able to easily finger all LH chord voicings (including all inversions) within the 1-1/2 octaves range, leaving 3-1/2 octaves for right hand playing. I also set my keyboard up so the RT part's lowest note (G2) begins at the SAME pitch as G1 in the left part. This gives me lower mid range notes to play in the right hand, yet still offers me the upper range of an 88 note keyboard. To gain the additional highest octave of an 88 note keyboard, I can conveniently press the octave +- button.

evangelical and scottyee,,i noticed that if you set your keyboards to F/G2 then if you want to play G7 BFG inversion you still have problems,,i think this subject is quite important and appreciate to hear from you all ,,thanks again,,mike
