The keyboard is not splitable, but there are seven instruments dj splits: ex: Lower left hand and right hand piano.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use. Aprentissage function mutes the game the right hand, left hand or both (when you play the rhythm).
An LCD screen provides information about custom settings active. There is also a mini keyboard and 2 servings of musical doors (ground and Ut) to view the notes cheeks.
I do not have the manual, but I Tlcharger that of other models CTK whose carractristiques trs are close on the Casio site. It is comprehensive and clear.

Although no type n'tant "Pro", the keyboard is quite enjoyable (key agile) but dynamic sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Unlike the first two opinions, I'm not the sounds, yet I have a Crumar organ and Yamaha keyboard! Having had a low price, I take hsit and yet ... The pianos are top, organs are good, the pan flute is a marvel, the strings and other rev synths are widely acceptable.

I prcise that, contrary to what is said above, this keyboard does not come out of "midi sounds" like or may have a computer, but uses a mixed technology:
Some sounds are lctroniques (oscillator) and other samples are in Wav with cast stretched to cover the keyboard. Other sounds are one of the two shuffled. There has trs sounds acceptable for this price range.
