Playing the PC-80 keyboard
The PC-80’s keyboard has two zones called Lower and Upper. Different
sounds can be selected and played in each zone.
There are three
“keyboard modes”
—
Lower mode
,
Upper mode
, and
Split
mode
— which you can use to play only the Lower sound, only the Upper
sound, or both the Lower and Upper sounds at the same time.
Use Lower mode to select the Lower sound.
