There is a button on this device that can be off, on or flashing (dual/split).
If it is flashing, the keyboard is split, so that the bottom half plays one oscillator, and the top half the other.
Normally, I think, people would play it dual, so that by hitting one key they get all the sound of the patch they are playing.
Anyway, that is not what i want to do!
What I want to do is play, for example, a piano at the bottom, and a trumpet at the top. Two entirely different instruments.
Is there any way i could do this (simple) thing, other than by creating a patch in which one oscillator was a piano and the other a trumpet?
Any two instruments would do. Or even split the keyboard into 4...

both sides of the split will play both oscillators.
you need to switch between the upper and the lower part to edit the sounds.
try the lower/upper buttons next to the dual/split button
good luck making a piano or a trumpet with the SH. Its a virtual analog synth and not a sampler.

A piano with SH-201 
You made my day.
Maybe a mediocre e.piano (DX7 style) using ring mod, that's the closest you'll ever get to anything that has a piano in its name

Oh, it is quite funny that I don't understand this keyboard so badly!
Would I be able to make it do piano sounds by using it as a midi keyboard interface and have some software on my computer, virtual instrument stuff, that would then mean i could play piano sounds?
I know that we can put a sound into it, eg from a cd, and play that sound somehow.
btw, i have connected it to my computer via a usb cable. I also did a connection from the midi ports to my computer (usb at the other end into my computer.) Do I need both of these?
Finally, what should I do to start getting a clue?!
