How to show upper tone name in the wk7600 LCD (split mode)?

When any of the CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX family of keyboards is NOT in SPLIT or LAYER mode, the top line of the display shows the UPPER-1 tone.  When the keyboard is in LAYER mode, the top line of the display shows the UPPER-2 (LAYER) tone.  When the keyboard is in SPLIT mode, the top line of the display shows the LOWER tone.  When the keyboard is in SPLIT/LAYER mode, the top line of the display still shows the LOWER tone.  If the keyboard is in SPLIT and/or LAYER mode, you need to temporarily exit SPLIT and/or LAYER mode to see which UPPER-1 tone is selected.  This is not something you would want to do during live play, as I will cover in a moment.  Your other choice is to press the MIXER button.  The MIXER panel should come up showing the "A" tracks (channels).  If not, LEFT ARROW as many times as necessary to switch the display from the "B" tracks (channels) to the "A" tracks (channels).  The arrow beneath the track (channel) numbers indicates which track (channel) is selected at any given moment.  When Track-A1 is selected, the display shows the UPPER-1 tone.  When Track-A2 is selected, the display shows the UPPER-2 (LAYER) tone, and when Track-A3 is selected, the display shows the LOWER (SPLIT) tone.  However, this is also something you would not want to do during live play.  As soon as you enter MIXER mode, whatever track is selected will be soloed  and spread across the entire keyboard, even though the keyboard is still in SPLIT and/or LAYER mode - just as exiting SPLIT and/or LAYER mode to see the UPPER-1 tone will solo and spread the UPPER-1 tone across the entire keyboard.  Once you go into SPLIT and/or LAYER mode, there is no good way to tell what tone is selected for UPPER-1 without a huge chance of disrupting live play.  If you are asking this for switching tones during live play or recording, just the simple selection of tones on these keyboards is a little too intricate for live play.  Most modern keyboards tend to suffer from this.  Tone switching during live play or recording is best handled through the use of REGISTRATIONS.

Use the registrations for splits and layers.  This is what they are designed for.  No gigging musician should be trying to set up their keyboard during performance.  It should all be stored for 1 button recall.  

 

 

Honestly I am grateful for the suggestion and participation in posting, more for this and other reasons, the CASIO WK-7600 needs an upgrade the operating system.
Note: In split mode enabled for real-time controls the tone for the right hand and improve the method for how to recall the registration.
I take this opportunity to wish merry christmas
