Chapter 1 Playing the Keyboard

Performing With Two Layered Tones

(Dual Play)

You can play two different sounds from a single key at the same time. This
method of performance is called “Dual Play.”

Example: Try Layering Piano and String Tones

fig.01-09

1.

Hold down the [Piano] button and press the [Strings/Pad]

button.

The indicators for both buttons light.

Try fingering the keyboard. Both the piano and string sounds play.

Pressing two Tone buttons at the same time in this manner activates Dual Play.

Of these two selected tones, the one for the Tone button you pressed first is
called the “Upper Tone,” and the one for the Tone button you pressed after
that is called the “Lower Tone.”

The Tone button’s indicator lights in red for the Upper Tone, and in orange
for the Lower Tone.

fig.01-10

Here, the piano tone is the Upper Tone and the strings tone is the Lower
Tone.

2.

To exit Dual Play, press either Tone button.

Now, only the tone of the button you just pressed is sounded.

Changing the Tone variations

Changing the Upper Tone Variations

Press the [-] or [+] button.

Changing the Lower Tone Variations

the [-] or [+] button.

You can change the pitch of
the Lower Tone an octave at
a time. Refer to “Changing
the Pitch of the Lower Tone
in Octave Steps (Octave
Shift)” (p. 41)
.

You can vary the volume-
level balance of the two
tones. Take a look at
“Changing the Volume
Balance for Dual Play and
Split Play” (p. 18).

Upper Tone

orange

Lower Tone

Although when you press
the pedal while in Dual
Play, the effect is applied to
both tones, you can set the
FP-2 so that the effect is not
applied to the Lower Tone.
Refer to “Changing How
the Pedal Effects Are
Applied” (p. 39).
