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 keys in the range of C1
through A1 simultaneously (or press one key while holding another) to engage
Dual.
Refer to “Selecting Voices” on page 27 for more information on the voices
that are assigned to the keys.
The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice
assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2.
You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual:
Dual 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 (see Quick
Operation Guide). The current balance setting appears on the display while both
controls are held. A setting of “0” produces a balance default value between the two
Dual mode voices. Settings below “0” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to
Voice 1, and settings above “0” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
Octave Shift
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 A4-D5 keys (see
Quick Operation Guide). The current Octave Shift setting appears on the dis-
play while both controls are held.
