The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the DUAL mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector. q Adjusting the Balance Between the Dual-mode Voices HARPSIPIANO CHORD ORGAN C2 C3 C4 Left voice Equal Right voice maximum. balance. maximum. The volume levels of the two voices combined in the DUAL mode are normally set automatically to produce a pleasing balance (see "Default Settings" below).

The C3 key produces equal (50:50) balance between the two voices, while keys to the left of C3 increase the volume of the left voice in relation to the right voice, and keys to the right of C3 increase the volume of the right voice in relation to the left voice. By "left" and "right" voice we refer to the relative positions of the voice selectors - i.e. in a HARPSICHORD/ORGAN combination HARPSICHORD is the left voice and ORGAN is the right voice.
