PIANO
2) DUAL
The DUAL function allows two preset sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound. For
example, a piano can be layered with strings, or a church organ with a choir sound.
Step1
Press and hold down a SOUND SELECT button to select the fi rst desired sound. Then press another
SOUND SELECT button to select the second desired sound.
The LED indicators for each button will turn on, indicating that the two sounds have been selected. The display
will also briefl y show the combination of the selected sound variation numbers. The left number represents the
fi rst sound and the right number represents the second sound.
For example, to layer a piano sound and a string sound, press the PIANO 1 and STRINGS buttons
simultaneously as shown in the diagram.
Pressing either of the SOUND SELECT buttons again will select the other sound variations assigned to that button.
For example, to change the String Ensemble sound to Slow Strings, press and hold the PIANO 1 button and
press the STRINGS button again.
If two sound variations assigned to the same SOUND SELECT button are to be layered, while pressing the
desired SOUND SELECT button, use the VALUE buttons to select the desired sound variation. For example,
to layer Concert Grand and Mellow Grand together, fi rst press the PIANO 1 button to select Concert Grand,
and then use the VALUE buttons to select Mellow Grand while still holding down the PIANO 1 button. Sound
variations number 1 and 3 will be layered.
Step 2
Play the keyboard.
Two different sounds will be heard at the same time.
Step 3
Use the BALANCE slider to adjust the volume balance between the two sounds.
Step 4
Press any individual SOUND SELECT button to cancel DUAL mode.
