Splitting the Keyboard into Left and Right for Two-Person Performance (Duet)

What is a Duet?

You can have the same pitch range on the right and left sides from the center of the keyboard. This can be used when a teacher plays a model performance on the left side and the student plays the same melody on the right side. In addition, you can change the pitch range of the left and right keys by octaves.
