Hi Fred,
These were the instructions that worked for me but as I did this several years ago my memory is a bit vague. Be assured that it does work very well. My 2nd keyboard is a NP11. My split point is set to provide the whole T3 keys for melody over the whole range while the lower keys are for chords or you can select left hand voice on Tyros, turn ON volume on lower keyboard and the left hand voice will sound. Hope this may help you setup. I no longer play due to arthritis in my wrists but I do not think I would ever have gone back to using the Tyros on its own. Dual keys was the way to go for me.
Regards,
Ron

Tyros. Function \ Utilities \ Midi \ Edit.
Page to System and set Receive Transpose to ON.
Page to Receive and set CH1 from Song to LEFT.
Page to Chord detect Tick CH1.
Volume Control of NP30 is OFF as it's acting as a dummy to trigger Tyros Chords \ Styles.
The Midi Template settings above Save As (name ?) Suggest Lower ON into USER.
The NP30 can be transposed one octave down by.....
Holding Grand Piano Button down whilst pressing C4. This now plays the Tyros Left Voice -1 Octave [Thanks to GrahamUK]
