Though I'd prefer to play in full keyboard mode, Yamaha's full keyboard mode chord recognition limitations (for me) prevent this. On the Tyros & PSR2000, I always play in split mode with BOTH left & right parts sounding. I keep the split point set to F#2 as I'm able to easily finger all LH chord voicings (including all inversions) within the 1-1/2 octaves range, leaving 3-1/2 octaves for right hand playing. I also set my keyboard up so the RT part's lowest note (G2) begins at the SAME pitch as G1 in the left part. This gives me lower mid range notes to play in the right hand, yet still offers me the upper range of an 88 note keyboard. To gain the additional highest octave of an 88 note keyboard, I can conveniently press the octave +- button.
