Recital 61's signal output.

Lesson Mode

For instructional purposes, the Lesson Mode feature divides the 61 keys into two zones with the
same pitch-range and voice. This enables both student and teacher to easily watch each other and
play together without having to move away from the piano, take turns, or reach over each other.
To enable or disable Lesson Mode, press the Lesson button.
To select a voice for both zones in Lesson Mode, press one of the Voice buttons.
To set the key for the split point between the two zones, press and hold the Split button, press a
key between C2 and C5, and then release the Split button. The default split point is E3.
To change the octave of the two zones in Lesson Mode:
1. Press the Metronome and Lesson buttons at the same time to enter Advanced Function Mode.
The two button LEDs will be lit.
2. Following the diagram on page 7, use the keys marked Octave – and Octave + to lower or raise
the octave. Press both keys together to reset the octave back to the default value.
3. Press both the Metronome and Lesson buttons again to exit Advanced Function Mode.
Note: In Lesson Mode, Layer and Split Modes are automatically disabled.
