depression will produce the piano note fol-
lowed by the slower String note. If the key
is released quickly, the String note will not
occur. This powerful feature allows selec-
tive expression
of String versus

sounds, depending on how the keyboard is
played. Notes played quickly ("staccato")
will produce Piano sounds only; notes held
down will produce
an initial Piano note fol-

"Split Keyboard" effects of sustained String
