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.
Press two voice buttons at the same time (or press one voice button while hold-
ing another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when Dual
mode is active.
• According to the voice numbering priority shown in the diagram on the
right, the lower value voice number will be designated as Voice 1 (the other
voice 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
[METRONOME] button, press one of the 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 an equal balance 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
[METRONOME] button, press one of the A4-D5 keys
(see Quick Operation Guide). The current Octave Shift setting appears on the
display while both controls are held.
