Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)
You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you
can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound.
1.
Engage Dual mode.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press two of the C1–A1 keys at simul-
taneously (or press one key while holding another).
Refer to the voice list on page 17 for available voices.
According to the voice priority shown in the voice list (page 17), the voice
assigned to the lower keyboard will be designated as Voice 1 (the other voice will
be designated as Voice 2).
You can make the following settings only in Dual mode:
Setting the Octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-
pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combi-
nation may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 keys.
Setting the Balance
You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the F 5–F 6 keys.
A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices.
Settings below “0” increases the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and set-
tings above “0” increases the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
2.
Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys.
Procedure
NOTE
You cannot assign the same
voice to Voice 1 and Voice 2
simultaneously in Dual mode.
TIP
Reverb in Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority over the
other. (If the reverb is set to
OFF, Voice 2 reverb type will be
in effect.) Reverb depth setting
(page 18) will be applied only to
Voice 1.
